Owl and the Sparrow (Vietnam 2007)

A girl who refuses to surrender her optimism despite difficult circumstances brings two unlikely strangers together in this comedy drama from Vietnam. Thuy is an orphan who, after the death of her parents, has been sent to live with her uncle who puts her to work in his factory. Convinced life has better things to offer, Thuy runs away to Saigon, and soon makes friends with orphans who survive on the street and look out for one another. Thuy supports herself by selling flowers, and during her rounds she meets a couple for which she plays matchmaker. She soon learns, however, that matchmaking is a more challenging task than she realized.
