Set in the highlands, Di Giua Troi Ruc Rot revolves around the life of a young Dao girl named Pu (Thu Ha Ceri). Pu has many ambitions and dreams and is the pride of her village when she is admitted to a university in the city. However, Pu faces many problems that prevent her from going to school, from her "alcoholic" father who does not pay for her tuition, to the appearance of Chai (Nguyen Long Vu), a "rich kid" who falls in love with Pu at first sight and wants to marry her.
