Apartment 122 An Binh (District 5, Ho Chi Minh City), an old apartment building with nostalgic beauty, was chosen as the setting for many scenes in the movie Mai.

Ms. Hop is the person who directly worked with the film crew. According to her, the crew was originally expected to film for about 1 month, but after surveying, Mai filmed at An Binh apartment for exactly 7 days, then moved to the studio in Go Vap to continue filming the remaining scenes.

The vibrant life of the people is recreated through the scenes filmed here.

The long staircase, the old hallway, the familiar iron doors… These images make it easy for the audience to recognize this as the setting that appears in the movie.

Ms. Phan Thi Hang, 63 years old, owner of apartment 122/32C, 2nd floor, An Binh apartment building - the house of the character Sau (played by Tuan Tran) appearing in the film, is also proud to be chosen as the main setting.

Ms. Phan Thi Hang, 63 years old, has lived in apartment building 122 An Binh for over 30 years.

Like Ms. Hop, Ms. Hang, as the host, also commented that director Tran Thanh was polite and gentle with everyone.

Her apartment was chosen as the exterior setting for the character Sau (played by Tuan Tran). Ms. Hang said that her family's apartment was quite old. After filming was finished, Tran Thanh had someone repaint the apartment, which made her and her husband very emotional.

The days the film crew filmed here were memorable days for Ms. Hang’s family and many residents of An Binh apartment building. Ms. Hang said that artist Tran Thanh was very generous when residents of the apartment building who played extras were paid quite a high salary and had meals with the crew. Her family’s old window was also borrowed by the film crew to ensure authenticity.

It is known that An Binh apartment building has 106 households, of which about 20 are for rent, mainly students and traders at Hoa Binh market (District 5).

The stairs in old apartment buildings provide a lot of inspiration for photographers.

"There are 106 households here, of which about 5-6 households are abroad so their houses are locked, about 100 households are still living there. There are also some well-off families who bought new houses to move out and rent out their houses, about 20 apartments in total," Ms. Hop shared.

According to many residents of the apartment building, since the 6th day of the Lunar New Year, after the movie became famous, many young people and TikTokers came to the apartment building to take photos and film. Some residents advised young people to ask permission from the management board when taking photos and to be aware of maintaining order to ensure security and the lives of the residents.

Residents of 122 An Binh apartment building feel strange when many... strangers visit in the past few days.
