Vietnamese sales and distribution company Mockingbird Pictures is bringing a commercial slate to the Cannes Market anchored by “Zero Meets Hero,” a multigenerational comedy-drama from Huỳnh Lập, director of “The Ancestral Home,” one of the highest-grossing Vietnamese films ever made.

Produced by Hồng Tú and 17 Production, “Zero Meets Hero” is positioned as one of Vietnam’s major National Day holiday releases this year. The film follows the clash between a Gen Z grandson and his war-veteran grandfather, weaving together comedy, family drama and spiritual elements that are characteristic of Lập’s filmmaking.
