The film won the Caméra d'Or prize at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival,[3] a César Award for Best Debut at the French annual film award ceremony, and was nominated for the 1993 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.[4] It was Tran Anh Hung's first feature film and stars his wife, Tran Nu Yên-Khê.
