[Movie Review] SARA 《雏妓》

Simon Yam 任达华: "Who's paying for your rent, your school fees?"

Charlene Choi 蔡卓妍: "I've let you fuck me! I earn my school fees, my food, my clothes, my rent..."

 

 

This are just part of a scene that you will see in the highly acclaimed movie, SARA 《雏妓》which opens in Singapore theaters on 26th March 2015!

Starring Hong Kong actress Charlene Choi 蔡卓妍 as Sara and the award-winning actor Simon Yam 任达华 as Gan Hao Xian, the movie explores the dark secrets of sex tourism in Asia. Journalist Sara has just spent four months completing an in-depth investigation piece.

Her editor-in-chief, afraid of offending powerful politicians and business moguls, refuses to run it. Sara’s boyfriend, who works for the same magazine, chooses not to warn her and even sides with the editor-in-chief. In just one moment, Sara is turned off by her work, her love relationship and even about life.

At this low point in her life, Sara exiles herself to Chiang Mai, Thailand. One evening, while at a bar, Sara meets child prostitute Dok-my. During her time getting to know Dok-my and through the process of rescuing her, Sara becomes haunted by the memories of her own past.
