The whole family struggled in tragedy
After the vegetarian restaurant closed because of Mr. Huan (Minh Tiep), Mr. Binh (Meritorious Artist Thai Son) worked day and night, working as a waiter at the restaurant, occasionally finding musical partners to supplement his income. Similarly, Mr. Chinh's (Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai) job was not much better. Despite the difficulties, the two fathers were determined not to let An (Ngoc Huyen), Nguyen (Tran Nghia), and Viet (Thai Vu) be separated.
To help their fathers, all three secretly worked part-time jobs. Specifically, Nguyen worked as a tutor, Viet worked as a waiter at a coffee shop, and An drew pictures to sell to his friends at school. The plan was exposed when Viet had a conflict with a customer at the shop, forcing Mr. Chinh to come and resolve it. However, Viet did not know that everything was arranged by Mr. Huan.
Having a headache over his children, Mr. Chinh was weak in the knees when he received the news of the failed business deal. Contrary to his hot-tempered and decisive nature, Mr. Chinh came home drunk, resentful and blaming himself for his wrong decision.
As usual, whenever someone had a problem, the others would take care of them and encourage them. Thanks to that, Mr. Chinh quickly overcame it, regained his spirit and earned money to pay off the debt. Learning from experience, the three brothers also discussed a reasonable plan to work extra hours, both to help their father and to ensure their studies.
The whole family had just recovered a little when Mr. Binh was hospitalized. In addition to working as a waiter at a restaurant, Mr. Binh was busy singing from one place to another, eating irregularly, leading to physical weakness. When he returned home, the creditor sent someone to threaten Mr. Chinh. Seeing the two sides fighting, An intervened but was injured and had to be hospitalized.
To resolve the situation, Viet agreed to be Mr. Huan's son. To fulfill the agreement, Mr. Huan extended Mr. Chinh's debt and returned the vegetarian restaurant space so that Mr. Binh could continue his business.
At the climax, Nguyen lost his grandmother, younger sister, and stepfather at the same time, and his mother was seriously injured in an accident. Losing her child and her husband caused Lien (Thu Quynh) to fall into a state of panic. Therefore, Nguyen decided to study abroad to take care of his mother. At the same time, Viet revealed that he was going to live with Mr. Huan, calling both of them ungrateful. In a fit of anger, Nguyen threw a punch at Viet, and the film paused at the argument between the two brothers.
