Especially is Hope - the film is based on a true story, the infamous Nayoung Case in 2008, in which an 8-year-old girl, called "Na-young" in the Korean press, was raped and beaten by a drunk 57-year-old man in a public toilet. The court sentenced the man to only 12 years in prison, which caused outrage in the country due to the brutality of the crime and the man's history of physical and sexual violence.
According to Pham Hong Quang, Director of the provincial Department of Information and Communications, the event marks 25 years of Vietnam – South Korea diplomatic ties (December 12, 1992 - 2017) as well as the ASEAN – South Korea cultural exchange year 2017.
It will help increase mutual understanding and cooperation between Quang Nam and South Korea localities across diplomacy, culture, economy, tourism, and education, he added.
Alongside the festival, there will be meetings to honour South Korea organisations and individuals who have made contributions to Quang Nam, an exchange between Vietnamese and South Korea students, and art performances by Vietnamese and Korean artists.
