Synopsis

In rural early 90 s China, Bai (Huang Lu), a pretty and enterprising college student, travels to a remote, mist shrouded mountain village in the company of a pair of affable strangers. But what Bai thought was an expedition to gather herbs for resale turns into a true crime shocker when her fellow travelers sell her into slavery. This can t be happening!, Bai screams on awakening from a drugged stupor to find herself married to a middle-aged pig farmer, and her freedom, identity, and dignity stolen. Yang depicts Bai s horrific ordeal with both gravity and the kind of  detail that emphasizes the authenticity of the all too common predicament that she fights to escape. Contrasting the exotic beauty of its locale and a very fine lead turn by Hung Lu with the cruelty of a system that tolerates human trafficking and a community that thrives on it,
