Best Director at 54th Golden Horse Awards

Innocent only in name, Vivian Qu’s (prod. Black Coal, Thin Ice) noir casts a rather dark shadow on a sunny resort town. A determined lawyer investigates the assault of two schoolgirls. Its key witness, an illegal migrant not much older than the victims. The dig for truth unearths an underworld that threatens to swallow them all whole.


Teenaged Mia (Vicky Chen), works as a cleaner in a motel in a small seaside town. One night, she witnesses the sexual assault of two schoolgirls by an older man. However, one of the victims, Xiaowen, (Zhou Meijun) realises that her troubles have only just begun. As Mia and Xiaowen find themselves in ever harrowing circumstances and nowhere to run, they have to find their own way out. (China/France, 2017, 107 min., R, Mandarin with English subtitles | Dir. Vivian Qu)
