Synopsis:
In 19th century rural Vietnam, 14-year-old May becomes the third wife of wealthy landowner Hung. Soon she learns that she can only gain status by asserting herself as a woman who can give birth to a male child. May’s hope to change her status turns into a real and tantalizing possibility when she gets pregnant. Faced with forbidden love and its devastating consequences, May finally comes to an understanding of the brutal truth: the options available to her are few and far between. NETPAC Award, Toronto International Film Festival.

19世紀的越南，14歲少女嫁給大地主做三少奶，懵懂的她不止要學習侍夫，更要適應豪門的種種規則。她一心只想取悅丈夫，懷上他的兒子，在豪門裡安身立命。直到一天她目睹一場禁忌的幽會，她壓抑在內心的情慾，終於在她體內翻起暗湧。導演阮芳英自編自導處女作，取代自曾祖母的真實故事，大膽挑戰越南影壇禁忌。詩意的鏡頭拍出女性飽受父權壓迫的封閉年代，美麗風景下是抹不去的哀愁。拍攝時只有12歲的阮芳茶媚準確演繹少女微妙的情慾變化，令人眼前一亮。多倫多電影節「亞洲電影促進聯盟獎」。
