2007, Vietnam, Directed by Thanh Van Nguyen

Mai, a girl of 17 lives with her parents, two younger sisters and her brother in a poor village in central Vietnam. While her mother tries hard to feed the family, her father pursues pleasure with his outside affairs. This life of deprivation and misery never brings the family any happiness. Deep in the little girl's tiny heart, she desires to earn more to help her family. From a family acquaintance, she is soon referred to a so-called tailoring course in Saigon. At the admiration of her peers, especially her younger sister, who is just about 16 year old, Mai leaves the family to seek a better life in the splendid city....Beyond everyone's belief, she is sold to a brothel...
