In a small seaside town, two schoolgirls are assaulted by a middle-aged man in a motel. Mia, a teenager who was working on reception that night, is the only witness. For fear of losing her job, she says nothing. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Wen, one of the victims, finds that her troubles have only just begun. Trapped in a world that offers them no safety, Mia and Wen will have to find their own way out.

Vivian Qu is a producer, script writer and director. Born in Beijing, she studied visual arts in New York City and she subsequently returned to China to become a filmmaker. She has produced a number of features including Night Train, Knitting, and Longing for the Rain.
Her directorial debut, Trap Street, premiered at the 2013 Venice International Film Festival, where it was nominated for the prestigious Luigi De Laurentiis Award and it won Grand Jury Prize at the Boston Independent Film Festival in early 2014. Angels Wear White is her latest feature.
The laidback seaside town offers a deceptively serene veneer for the seamy things going on in the dark.
