According to revelations, director Do Quoc Trung initially wanted the character Thai to be thin but muscular, the leaner the better. Therefore, he focused on maximizing muscle development to achieve that physique.

During the preparation process, there were times when he felt exhausted during training, but he told himself that he had to achieve the look of Mr. Thai, that he had to push himself a little harder.

Reportedly, he performed most of the scenes in the film himself to ensure beautiful and realistic visuals in every movement, except for a few situations that were truly too difficult or impossible.

Director Do Quoc Trung said that the story in the film comes from his own personal experiences. To arrive at the final version, the team had to work with many different versions.

He also emphasized that the film doesn't aim to explain why people become depressed, but simply wants viewers to realize that someone is suffering, and the first thing to do is to accept and empathize with them, instead of rushing to explain or "cure" them.

"My Father Tells Me" is the story of a tightrope walker and his son, who is showing signs of depression, on a journey to rediscover a lost connection. Amidst the dazzling yet fragile lights of the circus stage, the father and son gradually open up and heal old wounds. The film both celebrates Vietnamese circus art and reminds us of family values ​​in modern life.

The film had special screenings on January 14th and 15th, before its official release on January 16th.
