Searching for meaning in a small Chinese town
Winter is about to begin in a small town in Southern China, and sixteen year old Lynn, left to be raised by her grandparents, finds herself longing for love.

But when her first sexual experience turns into a cruel one, Lynn finds her already unstable world turned upside down.
