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 nightmare when her fellow travelers sell her into slavery. On awakening from a drugged stupor, Bai finds herself married to a middle-aged pig farmer, and her freedom, identity, and dignity stolen. A harrowing and powerful tale which explores the startling divide between educated urban China and its rural backwaters.
