The television drama “Xóm nhỏ” is premiering on VTV1, focusing on the journey of young people striving for independence in Hanoi. The story follows Tram, a 19-year-old who leaves her home in Hai Phong to escape family conflicts and seek a new life in the city. After being deceived upon arrival, she finds herself penniless and living in a poor boarding house community.

Through her interactions with Phong, a blunt freelance photographer, and other residents of the boarding house, the series explores themes of maturity, the gap between expectations and reality, and the struggles of working-class life. The cast includes actress Lê Lưu Ly in the lead role, alongside veteran artist NSƯT Hoàng Hải and other young performers.

The production aims to provide a realistic yet warm depiction of urban laborers, including street vendors and small business owners, highlighting the human connections formed amidst economic hardship.
