Film Main Info

A harsh tale of Ping Ping (Lai Fooi Mun) and her desire to escape from her drab existence and start a new life in Japan.

Working at a pig breeding farm, pregnant Ping Ping yearns to escape her humdrum life and the guardianship of her aunt.. After giving birth to a still-born, she scrimps to pay a human-trafficking gang boss to take her, but falls short and is turned away.

It transpires that Ping Ping was carrying a baby that was to be given up for adoption, the result of a baby factory run by her aunt, where migrant male workers are paid to sleep with young women, and their resulting offspring sold.

With her body still weak from the previous pregnancy, Ping Ping decides to try again and risks everything to realise her dream, and on the way discovers some the truths about her aunt.
