On May 11, the short film “Invincible” (Undefeated) nearly 3 minutes long by a group of Vietnamese students studying in France won second prize in the Finpret competition. Finpret is known to be a competition on preventing social evils and improving health for students organized for the first time by the Department of Preventive Medicine at Sorbonne University, Paris.

The film crew of “Invincible” consists of 7 members: Vo Tuc Ngan (Nghe An), Duong Thanh Tung (Hanoi), Vo Quoc Huy (Nghe An), Tran Quoc Khoi Minh (Ho Chi Minh City), Nguyen Quang Duy (Hanoi), Pham Hoang Anh (Nghe An), Rishwan Ashraf (France).

Notably, Vo Tuc Ngan - one of the three Nghe An students in the group - is the director and main actress of the film. She was a student in class C4 at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, class 37.

Not only is she a familiar face among Vietnamese students studying abroad in France, Tuc Ngan also inspires many young people in the country in general and the "juniors" at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted in particular about their dream of studying abroad. As an active member of the Vietnamese Student Association in France, Tuc Ngan has appeared many times on news channels for young people, sharing her experiences and interesting experiences as an international student.

Currently studying at ESG Paris, Tuc Ngan said, “Invincible” wants to send the message “If you want to have sweet results, you have to start with good habits. And once you start this habit, you also need to persevere to maintain it”.

Vo Tuc Ngan - a female student from Nghe An who is "famous" among Vietnamese students studying in France.

The short film "Invincible" itself is the clearest proof of this message. It is known that because the members of the group live in different cities, even different countries, they mainly worked together online. The first scene began filming on Christmas 2015 and finished in March 2016.
