"Careless Love" is set in the aftermath of the world financial crisis when many have lost their jobs and thousands their homes. The story centres on Linh, a Vietnamese-Australian university student from a remote country town who is studying at Sydney University. Her father, in the building trade, lost his job a few months before the film starts, and the family's home is likely to be repossessed. Linh starts working three nights a week as an escort, sending money home and also using it to avoid getting into debt through her university course. She believes she can separate her normal life from her work. When her carefully partitioned worlds threaten to collide, Linh's life and fictions become ever more tenuous. 

 

Introduced by John Duigan and Nammi Le
