The ceremony was attended by member of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee and Minister of Information and Culture Munkeo Olabun, Vietnamese Ambassador to Laos Nguyen Huy Quang, and other Vietnamese and Lao officials.
The film demonstrates the solidarity between generations of Vietnamese and Lao people who stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the struggle for national liberation, said a high ranking Lao official at the ceremony.
The film, directed by filmmaker Phi Tien Son, cost around US$630,000, a record in contemporary Vietnamese cinema history.
Its story revolves around Tam, a Vietnamese soldier who volunteers to fight in Laos in 1972. One of his missions is to build a makeshift stone bridge to transport ammunition across a river. After the bridge is bombed, Tam lines up dozens of elephants in the river, creating a bridge out of their backs.
Thirty years later, Tam’s son, Nguyen Ha, a public architect, makes a trip to Laos to build a bridge across the same river. The legendary spot on the river is called "elephant trestle" where Tam died. Ha meets Khamsa, a Lao girl, and her father, who help find his father’s remains. During their journey, Ha and Khamsa fall in love.
