Jailbait

Hoàng is a wealthy man living in Ho Chi Minh City. He keeps to one night affairs and never goes back to the same person twice. Linh Đan is still at high school. When she sees her boyfriend with someone else she decides to teach him a lesson, and she picks Hoàng for it. The next morning Hoàng learns that she is not yet eighteen. What follows becomes both a legal and a social dead end for him. The film tells it in the shape of a romantic comedy. It became the highest grossing Vietnamese film made up to that point. At the twentieth Vietnam Film Festival it won the Golden Lotus, and Kaity Nguyễn was named best actress. Lê Thanh Sơn’s ninety six minute film was completed in 2017.
