There are slight similarities between director Hong Khaou's experience and Kit's - like Kit's family, Khaou's parents fled South-East Asia when he was young - in their case from Cambodia - and he too grew up in Britain, but he wanted to distance himself a little from the film. "I didn't want to make it so much about me, although I guess it is inevitable it always comes out," he says. "I wanted to hide behind this Vietnamese character, so to speak, and talk about these feeling and issues I've always had about having to flee a war-torn country... and the struggle for a sense of cultural identity," Khaou says.

"The artworks appearing in the film belong to artists Dat Vú and Phan Tháo Nguyên and were exhibited at The Factory's Galeria.

The Factory is the first purpose built space for contemporary art in Vietnam."
