Blood Karma
The film tells about the tragedy of the Vuong Dinh family, where the head of the family often uses magic charms to control the members. The mother, because of the patriarchal habit, respects men and despises women, and is ready for her son without any tricks. Even though I have to pay the price for my actions, tormented by my sins, but deep inside is still a mother's sacred maternal love, unconditional love of a mother.
