Hong Dao takes on the lead role of Mrs. Mui. Following her husband's passing, Mrs. Mui develops a distrustful attitude towards those around her. The actress describes this as one of her most challenging roles, featuring many scenes with significant psychological depth.

In his new film, Khuong Ngoc explores the lives of the working poor. The main characters are a coffin shop owner striving to preserve her craft (Hong Dao) and a young man in need of money to support his family and treat his mother's illness (Vo Tan Phat). Both become entangled in an unusual agreement, leading to a series of tragicomic situations.

To prepare for the role, Hong Dao met with several coffin shop owners, observing their work, conversations, and conduct to add depth to her character. This film marks her third collaboration with Khuong Ngoc, following "Chi Dau" and "Cuc Vang Cua Ngoai".

Artist Hong Van portrays Mrs. Sau, the owner of a roasted duck shop, who constantly worries about her son. The director expressed his fortune in securing the participation of close friends Hong Van and Hong Dao, as they rarely act together.

Artist Huu Chau makes a guest appearance. Despite his limited screen time, he was eager to reunite with many theater colleagues.

Tuyet Thu plays Mrs. Lan, the male lead's mother. In recent years, besides performing at Hoang Thai Thanh Theater, the artist has taken on numerous supporting roles in feature films.

Vo Tan Phat stars as Tam, a young man working multiple jobs to support his family. The actor invested in his character's appearance, from his tanned skin to his posture on a motorbike, and dedicated effort to complex emotional scenes.

Ha Anh returns to the big screen after her success with "Mua Do". In "Len Huong", she plays Kim Khanh, a nail salon employee. Before filming, she spent days mastering the use of clippers and nail files.
