Returning to Vietnam after many years of studying abroad, a doctorate in atomic force Thai Duong entered an unimaginable reality. Many funny situations took place in his family when he was pondering over choosing a job in a new environment. Thai Duong was tricked into losing money, and his father and brother Loc Ton performed a risky mission to earn money: buying liquidated bombs. “A comedy film presenting common concerns within Vietnamese society post-Renovation: the contradiction between knowledge and materialism, between ideals and reality, between essence and appearance, or between the personal and the collective.” (Như trăng trong đêm)

Trong khi bố và anh trai mua bom thanh lý, anh bị lừa làm mất tiền. Bộ phim trình hiện những vấn đề điển hình được đặt ra trong xã hội Việt Nam thời Đổi Mới, của xung đột giữa tri thức và đồng tiền".
