Summary
In a harrowing fictional account based on all-too-real conditions, the 2006 Academy Awards qualifier written and directed by an FSU film student tells the story of Mudan, a young Chinese girl forced into an Asian underworld of child prostitution and modern-day slavery by a brutal brothel owner. Mudan soon befriends another young girl in the brothel, and starts dreaming of a better life with her mother in America.
