In Chiang Mai, she encountered an underage prostitute, Dok-My in the bar and she starts to bond with her. Upon meeting Dok-My, it brings back her dark childhood memories. 


During her teen days, she was molested and raped by her step-father, and she ran away from home, which led her meet up a much older man, Kam Ho Yin (starring Simon Yam). They stepped into a complicated relationship for 8 years. She sold her body to him in exchange for money to pay her monthly rent and school fees.


‘SARA’ is a film with good intention and pertinent messages to impart to the viewers. Thanks Clover Films for the tickets, and I really enjoyed the movie very much.
