Valerie received high praise from the jury to win the top prize - Best Film.

The film chooses a unique way of telling the story from the perspective of an automatic floor cleaning robot when witnessing a thief breaking into the house, rummaging and stealing property. However, an incident occurred causing the clash between the two leading to an unexpected ending. The work has absolutely no dialogue, only 2 characters: actor La Thanh and the automatic floor cleaning robot.
