Synopsis

A story set in the past, featuring rural life, family drama, and migrant work in the south

At twenty, her parents used her as a bargaining chip, marrying her off to a man nine years her senior in exchange for her brother's bride...

Her brother wanted a wife. The other family asked for no bride price, only that his sister be given to them.

To spare their son, who was threatening to kill himself, her parents pushed their own daughter into a living hell.

In five years, she never once set foot through the door of her childhood home.

She thought this was how her life would go, until her cousin came back from working in the city and asked bluntly, “You're only in your twenties. Are you really going to waste away in this dead-end place?”

With her cousin's help, she clutched at a sliver of hope and boarded a green train heading south.

In an unfamiliar southern city, in a cramped rented room, she met a group of women who had suffered much like her: women fleeing arranged marriages, abandoned women, mothers escaping with their children, and women disappointed by marriage.

They struggled to make a living at the bottom of society, earning their keep with their hands through massage therapy. Through wind and rain, they warmed and supported one another...
