Sunshine and Rain

Tien and Linh are identical twins who live in Hanoi. The girls may look identical, but these two sisters approach life in very different ways. When their father gets sick and the girls have to manage the family’s restaurant for the day, they’ll need to learn to work together to succeed.

The Magician of Hanoi

The Magician of Hanoi is in town to amaze everyone at the Hung King festival. The girls are thrilled to be chosen to act as assistants for one of the magician’s tricks. But for someone like Linh, who really believes in magic, is it enough to just fool the crowd? Will there be any real magic performed on this special holiday?

Welcome to Vietnam

Tien is nervous about a class assignment which has her learning about The United States of America and speaking about it in front of her class. The problem is that she doesn’t know anything about America and doesn’t know where to start. Plus, she only has the weekend to prepare. Maybe a little time with her family is all she really needs to figure it out.

The Storyteller

Linh, Tien and Grandfather sit down for their first storytelling lesson, and Grandfather is ready to pass along his three big secrets to storytelling. But can Linh’s story really capture their imaginations and take them on an adventure in their minds?
