貧窮限制了想像，也限制了女孩的命運。一個14歲的越南女生，生活在有「綁架新娘」習俗的農村，女人未成年就要成為別人的太太，唯獨她堅拒認命，相信讀書受教育才可逃過命定的安排。不料一次貪玩，讓她差點陷入難以擺脫的宿命⋯⋯
導演跟拍三年，在完全聽不懂少數民族方言的情況下完成拍攝，與受訪者的關係徘徊於姊妹與局外人之間，記錄了女孩從天真無憂的小孩蛻變成憂戚的青少年，也記錄了農村傳統與現代價值的極端碰撞。在平實的鏡頭下，觀眾目睹女孩經歷了一趟惡夢般的殘酷成人禮。
CHILDREN OF THE MIST follows the story of Di, a 13-year-old Hmong girl with a dream to escape the destiny of many teenage girls of her ethnic group. Di is fortunate that she belongs to the first generation of children in the village with the opportunity to continue studying into high school. When Di enters puberty, her personality changes drastically within a year: the carefree little girl has turned into an impetuous, hypersensitive teenager. She spends hours chatting on Facebook with boys.
On the Lunar New Year’s Eve, while Di is preparing to go to a street fair. Then she has disappeared. Her mother breaks into tears realizing that her daughter has been bride-kidnapped. This moment may signify the end of Di’s childhood and the beginning of her life as a woman.
