Black Coal, Thin Ice producer Vivian Qu's sophomore directorial effort Angels Wear White , which garnered her Best Director at the 54th Golden Horse Film Awards, subtly unfolds a devastating account of sexual abuse and society's failure to protect the vulnerable. Carried by a powerfully resonant story and raw performances from the talented young cast, the acclaimed Chinese drama was selected for competition at the 74th Venice Film Festival and nominated in five categories at the 12th Asian Film Awards. Child star Zhou Meijun makes her acting debut as a sexual violence victim, while award-winning teen actress Vicky Chen ( The Bold, The Corrupt, and the Beautiful ) plays a secretive young woman who witnesses the crime. At a seaside hotel, young staffer Mia (Vicky Chen) fills in at reception for her co-worker (Peng Jing). That night, a middle-aged man checks in with two 12-year-old school girls, Xiaowen (Zhou Meijun) and Xinxin (Jiang Xinyue). Through the hotel's surveillance camera, Mia records video of the man forcibly entering the girls' room. Afraid of losing her job, Mia stays silent when the police come to investigate the sexual assault case. Hoping to escape her circumstances, Mia recklessly tries to make some money with her knowledge. Meanwhile, Xiaowen, who doesn't fully understand what happened, watches the adults around her from her estranged ineffectual parents to corrupt and negligent authorities deal with the stalled investigation and fallout.
