The Heart Mission (Sứ Mệnh Trái Tim / Su Menh Trai Tim)

The Vietnam War has passed but our people are still living in the aftermath.

The large number of undetonated bombs and landmines

contaminating peaceful villages and boroughs

is a potential devastating danger.

The war took countless lives,

pulled fathers away from their children and husbands away from their wives,

and has caused generations to live in fear.

Statistics suggest that it will take us more than 100 years

to completely deal with undetonated weapons.

To clear all landmines and return peaceful lives to our people is a great mission.

Young blood from all over the country,

though from different backgrounds and all walks of life,

is carrying out such noble missions day and night

because of their shared ideology.

THIS MOVIE WAS INSPIRED BY A TRUE EXPLOSION

You guys just head home!

Yes, teacher.

These are for you.

Thank you.

They're beautiful.

Do you know what kind of flowers these are?

No, I just know that you love them.

I love purple flowers.

I will plant some. Once we're married--

Wait here.

My father told me the military is a big family

with thousands of regulations, strict standards, and strenuous training.

It helps kids like me grow up.

However,

there are still free souls, like myself.

I'm still allowed to love music

and enjoy the melody.

TRAN HOANG BACH - PRIVATE

This is Tien, our medic.

She's cute but acts like a man.

DO THUY TIEN - PRIVATE

The most talkative man in the troop is Tin.

Talking too much makes him eat all the time.

Unfortunately, his biggest dream is to lose weight.

LE HUU TIN - PRIVATE

We do have a true military man,

the leader of Troop 702.

NGUYEN ANH HOANG - SENIOR LIEUTENANT

There was an explosion outside the border of the Western Highlands,

near Ta Lung village.

I know you have a lot on your hands,

but the troop over there is extremely understaffed at the moment.

It's an emergency,

so you are to deploy immediately and give them a hand.

When you get there,

get in contact with the Ta Lung village committee

and ask for a guy named Binh Trau.

He's an ex-military who has lived there for almost six years,

so he knows his way around.

Understood, Colonel. We're ready.

Best of luck with your mission.

Hey, is there 3G up in the mountains?

Can't you millennials live a day without Facebook?

Is that a new song?

Bach, you should call your dad once in a while.

He can be difficult, and even give harsh reprimands,

but he loves you.

Yes, sir!

I ask myself

What it is that I truly want

Building castles and roaming all day long

Just trusting my instincts

I want to draw myself Shining like the sunlight behind that hill

I want to draw the villages Draw the schools

Draw the love of life

So I won't waste the days

Time flies fast, how beautiful are The young days of our lives

And a dream love as beautiful as a poem

Boundless desire, youthful desire

The mission of the heart is to love

To travel to faraway horizons

And live with the guidance of the heart That shines like the light at dawn

The mission of the heart is you and me

The time we join our hands

Lighting up our dreams like magic

That's my youth

Not wasting my young days

"But the prince was not afraid and boldly entered the palace.

He saw men and women looking peaceful as they exhaled in their deep slumbers.

The prince found such a bizarre scene in each and every chamber he explored.

At last, the prince came to a chamber where a princess was lying fast asleep.

Trembling, the prince knelt beside her, and awakened her with a kiss.

The princess looked at him with wondering eyes,

and with great happiness

she said, 'I have waited for you for so long.'"

We're close to Ta Lung village.

Wow! So beautiful!

Bach, why are you always drawing the sun?

Leave me alone!

Gentle.

Do you know the legend of the bufferfly?

Tell me.

Legend has it that bufferflies are a manifestation of love.

If one somehow lands on you, that means you've been shot by Cupid.

Venus must be shining down on you. You're going to get a girlfriend.

That's bullshit.

Why did you let it go?

Venus, my ass. Have you watched too many movies?

Trust me! Bufferflies are sacred.

There is a whole Liaozhai fairy tale about them.

"Once upon a time, before the time of the very first bufferfly on earth..."

"There lived a fat and greedy caterpillar,

who would eat all its friends' food,

and if there was nothing left to eat, it would even eat itself.

It is said that three women and a goose make a market.

In this case, three markets make the caterpillar fat."

And that's the end of the story. Please give us a round of applause.

Uh huh. And then what?

It's "butterfly" but you kept saying "bufferfly."

Keep stuffing yourself and become as fat as a pig.

Can't you see you've got fat up to your throat and can't speak properly?

Slow down, kids!

Remember to say thanks, okay?

-Are you here because of the explosion? -Yes.

There's gonna be trouble.

Excuse me! What the hell are you doing?

What if she falls down?

Stop bothering him.

Thank you. Goodbye.

When my dad was single,

he did this trick a lot, and my mom would yell at him just like you did.

And then what?

As a result, I was born.

Cute teacher.

A teacher doesn't need you to be cute, she just needs you to behave. Right, kids?

Yes, teacher.

Goodbye.

See you later.

The bridge is under construction. You can't cross it.

You and H'Nie just go ahead and take the kids back.

Okay.

Let's go.

You're from Troop 702, right?

I'm Hoang, troop leader.

I'm Binh, but here they call me Binh Trau.

Oh, nice to meet you.

Follow me, I'll take you to the village committee.

Take us to where the explosion happened first, then the committee.

Okay, up to you.

And the wounded, where are they now?

They are staying at the village medical center.

We don't have enough supplies here,

so we can't properly take care of them.

Tien, go to the medical center and see if you can help.

Yes, sir!

I need someone to guide her.

Just follow Linh.

You guys, follow me.

Wow, he looks just like the cowboys of the wild west.

If only I could ride like him.

Just forget it. That would be too painful for the horse.

But you know, Tin, sloth bears, they often walk.

Stop the car!

-Bach and Man, follow me! -Yes, sir!

Stop!

Where did you get these?

The buffalo? I got it from the village. I had to pawn my wife for it.

I'm asking about those two bombs.

Oh, these? I dug them up, I didn't steal them.

Why didn't you hand them over to the authorities?

If I had, who would feed me? I can make money from these, sir.

Have you taken out the explosives? Are they safe?

Don't you know?

You have to keep these intact just how you found them.

If you can still smell the earth from them,

you can make a fortune.

-Aren't you afraid they're gonna explode? -Oh, Lord. Are you kidding?

If they were gonna explode, I would have been blown to pieces by now,

not sitting here talking to you.

Anyway, you should go back home and get some rest.

Let me take care of the world, you go rest.

Y Hu, let the guy do his job.

Do what you gotta do.

-Confiscate these. -Yes, sir!

Oh, Lord. You're gonna confiscate them?

They're too dangerous.

How can he transport them like it's nothing?

Most of the people here,
