The movie, which also stars Simon Yam contains a handful of intimate sex scenes between Sara and Simon's character and is noted for daring to touch on sensitive issues in Asia, like sex tourism.

Charlene's portrayal of Sara in the movie was well received by critics that at the Macau International Movie Festival, she won the Best Actress Award. On top of that, she is also up for the Best Actress award at various international film festivals including the 10^th annual Osaka Asian Film Festival in Japan, 34^th Annual Hong Kong Film Awards and at the Far East Film Festival in Italy.

Charlene, who is beyond excited that the film has been recognized internationally, hopes that their movie would shed some light on the prevalence of sex tourism in Asia, as well as generate further awareness to people.
