Vietnam’s Mockingbird Pictures is heading to the Beijing International Film Festival with “A ‘Good’ Best Luck,” a dark comedy drama drawing on local spiritual folk traditions.

Directed by Khương Ngọc and Tấn Hoàng Thông for VIC.N Studio, the film centers on Tâm, a young delivery worker whose heart condition from birth leads him into a strange folk ritual called “lying in a coffin” – a practice held to transform one’s destiny through the symbolic act of death. Dương Hải Yến serves as executive producer.
