Maika – Cô bé đến từ hành tinh khác (Maika – The Girl From Another Planet) is a co-production between the Cinema Department (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) and BHD Company and other production partners.

The cinematographic work tells the story of Hùng, a boy whose mother passes away from a serious illness. The loneliness of losing his mother causes Hùng to become withdrawn until he met Maika – a girl from another planet who wants to find friends on Earth. Maika helps Hùng find the joy he should have at his age.
