Children of the Mist

Di is a 12-year-old girl from the mist-shrouded mountains of northern Vietnam. She belongs to the Hmong, an ethnic minority in which girls get married at a very young age. This is often preceded by a controversial bride-napping, where the girl is abducted by her future husband on New Years Eve. Negotiations between the families follow. This also happened to Dis sister and their mother, so it doesnt seem strange that in preparation the women and girls discuss sex and married life without embarrassment. But Di also goes to school, where she learns very different values. And in her own way, even Dis mother tries to warn her daughter about child marriage.
