Babysitting the Virgin Saint A queer love story in the last light of Saigon Saigon, 1970s — glamorous, volatile, and dripping with secrets. Dung Tây — a street pimp-turned-informant with too many favors owed and not enough shame — gets hired to babysit the youngest son of a rich Saigon tycoon. No gang wars, no shady deals, just babysitting a quiet, well-dressed boy with a saintly smile. Too quiet, maybe.

Set in the last light of Saigon, this is a story of queer longing, quiet danger, and the collapse of a generation that didn’t know what to believe in anymore.
