A life of "cherished" disliked. "Some people hide a lot of secrets and they can scare others. I think these people are like in a tunnel, and maybe the only gleam of light lies in their hearts. So, even long after they walked out of the tunnel, their hearts Still isolated from the world." 2009 Sundance Independent Film Festival Jury Award + Audience Choice Award; 2009 34th Toronto Film Festival "Audience Choice Award"

Black, fat and ugly, raped by stepfather, second pregnancy, ordered to drop out of school, infected with AIDS, tortured by her mother...the blows come endlessly, but she lives stronger than us who groaned without disease.
