Based on a true story, the film tells of a drama of jealousy set against the backdrop of Saigon’s nightlife in the 1960s. At the center of the story are two prominent women from high society: Madame Sac, the wealthy owner of a fabulous diamond collection—and a legendary nightclub. Her Kim Do nightclub sparkles and sizzles in every corner, and it’s not just the ladies’ stunning wardrobes that evoke Paris. The luxurious club is a gathering place for Saigon’s underworld, who indulge themselves here every night and, in the cover of darkness, ensure that everything continues as before… In this milieu, the beautiful Cam Thanh rises in the audience’s favor to become the city’s most famous dancer. But Madame Sac is as strict as she is jealous and power-hungry. When Cam Thanh tries to free herself from her dependence on Madame Sac, the two women clash, and their power struggle drags both into a dramatic downward spiral.
The set design alone makes this film a sensational standout in Vietnamese cinema—but the elegant reconstruction of Saigon’s nightlife in those years is also worth seeing for its allusions to the present.
