A problem turns to disaster when Hung and Xuan's mother then falls ill and soon dies from a particularly aggressive cancer.A well-meaning Red Cross nurse places the children with a cousin, but the cousin refuses to take care of them despite getting money from the Red Cross nurse to do so.

Blatant Lies: Hung's cousin Nam says brusquely that she has no money to take care of Hung and Xuan in addition to her own family and that she can only give them a little rice. That's after the Red Cross nurse and a family friend have both given Nam money to help support the two kids.

Conversation Cut: Hung attends a basement Viet Cong meeting where a speaker talks about the eternal march of history and the inevitable triumph of Ho Chi Minh. The film then smoothly cuts to an officer giving a near-identical talk to Hung's father.
