Narrative Feature Film

English and Mandarin with English Subtitles

Zhenzhen is smuggled to the island of Trinidad where her brother Wei works construction. He gets her a job at a Chinese restaurant, but when the smuggler demands more cash, she is forced into a compromising position. Help comes from Evelyn, who runs an art gallery nearby—but the contrast of the dark rooms above the restaurant and the white gallery walls, calls everyone’s innocence into question.
