The story has no main character or central plot, but has several characters whose stories intertwine: Kien An, a girl working in the lotus fields; Hai, a cyclo (a sort of bicycle-cab) driver; Woody, a young boy selling trinkets on the street; Lan, a high-class prostitute with dreams of a better life; and Token White James Hager, come to Ho Chi Minh to find the daughter he never knew he had.The film is known for it's lovely visuals and a narrative that repeatedly converges and separates as characters struggle to find purpose in an ever-changing world.

 Asian Hooker Stereotype: Unsurprisingly, prostitution is a huge racket in Ho Chi Minh City, especially for tourists.

 Advertised Extra: Not an extra, but the advertising plays up Harvey Keitel's role as James Hager. One American poster◊ awkwardly superimposes his giant face over the normal poster◊, and he usually is given top billing despite not being the central character, for some reason.

 Dawn of an Era: The theme of the urban scenes. Vietnam is undergoing Đổi Mới, a time of aggressive modernization, industrialization, and tourism to boot. Lan in particular represents the present, wearing modern clothes and catering to foreigners, embracing the present over the past.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

 Asian Baby Mama: Hager hadn't been to the city since it was Saigon, and when he left after the Vietnam War, he hadn't even known that he was leaving a child behind. He comes back to the city upon finding out that his Asian Baby Mama had died.
