Languages Cantonese Hong Kong film auteur Herman Yau follows up his highly acclaimed 2007 prostitute ensemble drama Whispers and Moans with True Women For Sale. With the original Chinese title meaning "I don't sell my body, I sell my womb", Yau's latest work sells not only tales of sex workers, but also a realistic portrayal of the marginalized in a poor, old district of Hong Kong.
The story focuses on two women. Comeback singer Prudence Liew casts aside her idol image to play a drug-addicted hooker who works hard to earn money to mend her bad teeth; the role won her much accolade and Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards. Race Wong (of girl group 2R fame) plays a young Mainland mother who married an old man in order to gain Hong Kong citizenship. They cross paths with a bunch of other grassroots characters including Anthony Wong's insurance agent and Sammy Leung's photographer.
