Sinopsis
Fiction. After the loss of her daughter Maria in a car accident, Carmen receives a letter from an adoption agency in which they finally concede Maria a Vietnamese little girl, Thi Mai. Along with her two best friends, Elvira y Rosa, who have never left Spain before, she decides to travel to Vietnam to complete the adoption process.
Once they get there, their inexperience, the cultural shock, and the burocratic mess in addition to the women’s own peculiarities turn the journey into a string of misunderstandings, crazy situations, and insane decisions. Their unbelievable adventures in Vietnam make the challenge look unattainable, so they will have to appeal to huge amounts of wit, not free from madness and stubbornness in order to get Thi Mai to come home with Carmen. To their adventure tags along Dan, their rigid but noble Vietnamese guide and Andrés, a Young Spanish actor traveling to Hanoi to get married.
Thi Mai is the hysterical love story of a mother who does not want to give up her right to be a grandmother, and how hope, friendship and good people who are met along the road (anywhere in the world) can always overcome tragedy,
