She gave her daughter to the house that is taking care with the children with special needs because she cannot take care of her and when the law of custody changed she had a hard time to decide to take her daughter back or not. She had to make this decision in a hard way because she had also a limited role in life to play as a Cambodian

Russian director, Timur Bekmambetov, he is the cream of the crop, he turns this comic into a movie that make the viewers not sit still and make their adrenaline and cortisone levels spike with the actions.
