The 90minute-film was among the short listed documentaries from Southeast Asia to be shown at an on-going documentary film festival in Ha Noi. It was also one of nine entries at the International First Films Competition held from March 20 to 30 in Pompidou Centre, Paris.
The documentary is the first long film she has made. It tells a story about a travelling troupe in the south. They travel to perform in the rural areas in the centre, the south and the Central Highlands of Viet Nam. Most of the travelling troupes' members are gay and these troupes are popular in the south.
Tham started the film in August, 2009. Varan Viet Nam, an association of documentary filmmakers based in France gave her a little sum which helped me continue shooting the film. She finished shooting in October, 2010 but could not complete it because of a lack of money. She decided to edit the film at the end of 2011. The film editing process is very hard work because the first version was about 70 hours.
