Hlub Hauv Npaus Suav Summary

**Spoiler Alert **

Muaj Tsim (Nuj Sua Lis) keeps having dreams about a beautiful girl, who he remembers her name in the dream to be Laim Txias. Having fallen in love with the girl in his dreams, he sketches her face onto a poster board.

Muaj Tsim moves to a village in the highlands to be a doctor for the local villagers. While taking a break from his duty, he spots a girl swimming in a lake who resembles the girl in his dreams. He calls out and chases after her, but is unsuccessful.

Then, during his second chance encounter with her at the same lake, he stops her from leaving and forces her to reveal herself to him. After telling him that her name was Ntxhee Yees (Paj Xia Yaj), she immediately leaves.

Curious to know more about Ntxhee Yees, Muaj Tsim finds out from his medical assistant that Ntxhee Yees is an orphan who lives with her younger paternal uncle and aunt. However, the couple does not love Ntxhee Yees and forces her to do the house and farm chores.

Pitying Ntxhee Yees, Muaj Tsim decides to hire her for two months to not only serve his group of friends who would be visiting him shortly, but also use it is a chance to help her escape her slavery. Ntxhee Yees’ malevolent aunt saw this opportunity to completely sell Ntxhee Yees off to the doctor. But, when the aunt comes to meet the doctor, Muaj Tsim lies that the doctor is not around but he is willing to pay the aunt and keep Ntxhee Yees for an indefinite amount of time. The aunt could care less, so she willingly agrees to Muaj Tsim’s offer. After she sells Ntxhee Yees, she and her family move to town without informing Ntxhee Yees of their departure.

Muaj Tsim’s friends arrive and almost everyone seems to like Ntxhee Yees. His close buddy is even surprised to see the keen resemblance between Ntxhee Yees and the girl that Muaj Tsim sketched. The only person who dislikes Ntxhee Yees is Muaj Tsim’s sister, Paj Ntxov’s, friend—Ntxoo, since she likes Muaj Tsim too. However, Muaj Tsim tells her repeatedly that he treats her like a sister only. But, his buddy is very fond of Ntxoo.

At the end of the group’s trip, Ntxoo comes to accept the fact that Muaj Tsim has no feelings for her and gives her blessings to Ntxhee Yees and Muaj Tsim. She then finds love in the arms of Muaj Tsim’s friend.

After the group leaves, Ntxhee Yees keeps waiting for her aunt and uncle to come pick her up. However to her dismay, she learns that they have already permanently left the village. She cries on top of a larger boulder, asking her parents for an answer as to why she was left an orphan. When her parents appear in the form of a cloud to assure her of their continual protection of her wellbeing, she then decides to continue to stay with Muaj Tsim. Eventually, Muaj Tsim asks for her hands-in-marriage. Although she silently loves Muaj Tsim, through the spoken-words, she tells him that as an orphan, she doesn’t have many choices. As long as he is willing to be with her, then she too is willing to accept him.

After she marries Muaj Tsim and returns from a trip to visit his parents in town, her paternal aunt and uncle reappear at the village. They tell Ntxhee Yees that they have nowhere else to go. Her cousin’s husband has scammed the couple of their money, so their only hope rests with Ntxhee Yees now. Soon afterwards, Ntxhee Yees’s cousin comes back as well. She reveals that she and her abusive husband have gone their separate ways. Having no one else to turn to, she has returned to live with her parents and seeks forgiveness from Ntxhee Yees. Ntxhee Yees forgives the family, and even asks Muaj Tsim to finance the building of a new home for them, which he does not hesitate to agree.

Muaj Tsim and Ntxhee Yees revisit some of their previous outing spots. The movie ends with them finding comfort and love in one another.  

My thoughts

I have no other comment for this movie with the exception that the main female lead cries too much, and the story line is draggy and long. It bores me occasionally. I think this movie is good for the elderly who are not so judgmental and can sit through long movies like this one. My mom, at least, enjoys this film.
