Dumb Luck

1990 · 4h 14m · Comedy

FROM NOW ON, YOU HAVE A PART IN THE SOCIAL REFORM. CIVILIZED OR BARBARIC, THIS SOCIETY DEPENDS ON YOU...

The sexually repressed widow Doan comes to play tennis in the court where sly, lewd orphan Xuan (nicknamed Red-haired Xuan for his sunburnt hair) is working as a ball boy. Their encounter that day would change Xuan's life forever, as the widow introduced him to an entirely different world of the hypocritical and decadent petite bourgeoisie class, a condition of "Westernized" middle-class Hanoians under French colonial rule in the 1920s. An 8-part series adapted from Vu Trong Phung's classic satire.
