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 Year’s Eve. Negotiations between the families follow. This also happened to Di’s sister and their mother, so it doesn’t 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 Di’s mother tries to warn her daughter about child marriage.

Torn between rural cultural traditions and the status quo in Vietnam. As an outsider looking in, it's hard to see what is right for the people in that community, but I do believe it's a universal rule that when someone (female) is kicking and screaming whilst getting dragged away (by men) is absolutely wrong.
