The mother slapped her daughter fiercely, and the man who accompanied her immediately urged her, and the mad mother scolded the man for not being worthy of being a father. It turned out that the man on the other side let his daughter recognize him as a "dry father" in order to please his superiors, and even her daughter Xiaowen was also spoiled by that "dry father". At this scene, the man still did not want to show weakness and scolded his mother for speaking badly. Then the doctor told them to come in and listen to the results of the examination, and to hear the cries coming from the examination room, and the two ignorant twelve-year-old girls were still unaware of what was happening.
The hotel that was the scene of the crime was naturally the first to be investigated by the police, and the wang team that led the team found that the surveillance of the previous night had been deleted, but under the attack of the inn manager's pile of gifts and rhetoric, the matter was not solved. As soon as the Wang team left, the hotel manager immediately changed his face, and he threatened the clerks Xiaomi and Lily to speak in unison and said that they did not know, otherwise they would not even have good fruit to eat in the hotel, and the manager who had just been forced to install a grandson in front of the Wang team was not happy. He incidentally warned Xiaomi, who was on duty at night yesterday, that if she did not have an ID card, she would immediately get out of the egg, and Xiaomi quickly pulled a lie and fooled around. In fact, Xiaomi herself is not an adult, because of her own experience, that night to see a grown man with two girls to the hotel, Xiaomi was a little bit on the heart, until she saw the man and the little girl living separately, she was slightly relieved. In between, she also went to the little girl's room to deliver four cans of beer. But in the middle of the night, Xiaomi saw from the surveillance that the man was going to force his way into the girl's room, and although the girl resisted vigorously, the man still succeeded.
Xiaomi didn't dare to care about it, but she subconsciously used her mobile phone to shoot the video. In addition to Xiaomi, even Lily, who should have been on duty with her, did not know, that night Lily just sneaked out to meet her boyfriend Xiaojian, and later she brought Xiaomi a message, Xiaojian asked her if she was a "chick", he could find a seller for Xiaomi. Xiaomi had already broken off contact with her relatives, and all her income came from the seven or eight hundred salaries given to her by the inn. Now to get this news Xiaomi is a little hesitant. At this time, Xiao Wen's mother was sadly discussing things with the female lawyer. Xiaowen, who happened to hear their conversation, climbed out of the window to call her classmates to tell her pain, but now she didn't know who to confide in. At the same time, Xiaomi in the inn is also worried, because the Wang team has come again, this time they are looking for the blonde hair cover worn by the girl of the day, which is in Xiaomi's hand. Just as she was thinking, Lily came over to ask her to help cover up, and she went to see her boyfriend Xiao Jian again, on the condition that she send a good tube of lipstick to Xiaomi. Xiaomi agreed, and carried the quilt to the sofa and waited to open the door for her.
Unexpectedly, her boyfriend Xiao jian sneaked in in the middle of the night, and he sat next to Xiaomi and asked her if she wanted to get a fake ID card, he could do it for her, but he needed ten thousand yuan. Xiaomi didn't have that much money, so Xiao Jian took the opportunity to touch her hand. Ambiguously said that not everything is to be solved by money, his meaning is self-evident, Xiaomi did not dare to refuse his touch, he hinted to him that someone outside was coming, Xiao Jian was scared away by her. Xiaomi's life is not good, and Xiaowen's situation is not optimistic. Xiao Wen, who had already described the details of the day, was asked by the Wang team to say it again. Seeing that Xiao Wen was speechless, the Wang team guided Xiao Wen to admit that they were drunk that day, and Xiao Wen could not bear the pain and said that he was going to the toilet with red eyes. The female lawyer who has been working on this kind of case feels that something is wrong, but the Wang team said that they have a new situation so they need to ask questions again, but he can't say what the specific evidence is. The other party's intention is obviously to push the responsibility to the two girls, aware of this Xiaowen's mother immediately quarreled with the Wang team, only the female lawyer secretly sighed and went to the toilet to see Xiaowen, and when she calmed Xiaowen's emotions, her mother remembered to call and inquire.
Knowing that Xiaowen had seen Xiaomi in the hotel, the female lawyer went to the hotel alone to find her. Xiaomi was trying to save money to buy an ID card, knowing that telling the truth would bring trouble, she said what the manager had explained in advance. The female lawyer was not willing to find nothing, so she asked Xiaomi how old she was, because she looked only 15 years old, but Xiaomi insisted that she was 18 years old. Seeing her tough attitude, the female lawyer had to leave first. At the same time, Xiaowen is carrying vegetables home, while her mother is lying on the bed smoking, and she has no nose or eyes for Xiaowen. After some sarcasm, she also insulted Xiaowen for not wearing clothes, threw all her daughter's clothes on the ground to make her mother satisfied, and cut off her long hair despite Xiaowen's cries. Xiaowen completely hated her mother, and after destroying her mother's cosmetics, she ran away from home with some things on her back. Little Text came to find his father. But he was not at home. The heavens and the earth are so big that there is no place for XiaoWen to walk to Marilyn. Monroe hugged the goldfish bottle under the statue and slowly fell asleep.
At this time, Xiaomi took the initiative to find Xiao Jian, because he not only entered Xiaomi's bedroom privately, but also stole her secret blonde hair cover. Xiaomi asked him, but Xiao Jian was busy selling his girlfriend Lily to Boss Huang, seeing that his girlfriend obediently drank wine with the boss, he had the heart to take care of Xiaomi, Xiao Jian deliberately used a blonde hair cover to lead her to the boat, the defenseless Xiaomi was blocked by him, but what he wanted this time was not Xiaomi, but the video video in the hotel, as long as he had this he could blackmail President Liu for money. For this purpose, Xiaomi got off the ship safely. Xiaomi is naturally not willing to be manipulated, and she just has the video in her hand, and she feels that she can exchange the video for some money to sell an ID card.
Xiao Wen finally arrived at his father's house at this time. After inviting his daughter to drink a bowl of porridge, his father asked Xiaowen to call her mother to pick her up. Xiao Wen hid in the room, and his father complained across the door that Xiao Wen did not understand things, and he was going to call Xiao Wen's mother after saying that. Hearing that his mother was coming, Xiaowen was about to flee with his bag, but the gate was locked. Xiao Wen's father chased up with the trend, and the daughter's fierce reaction made the father feel strange, he pushed Xiao Wen to ask her to say the reason, but to his father, Xiao Wen was really difficult to say. Seeing that his daughter silently resisted returning to her mother's house, her father let Xiaowen live here for himself. Ignorant of this, he also urged his daughter to go to school every day. Xiao Wen did not dare not go, and he could not go. Coming out of her father's house, she sat on the beach and waited for the time to pass, where there were couples getting married, Xiaowen looked at it foolishly for a while, and then sat on the beach and looked at the sea in silence for a long time. In the evening, as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw the female lawyer talking to her father, and knowing that the matter could not be hidden, Xiaowen turned her head and ran to the beach. The father quickly ran over the block, but the moment he touched his daughter. Xiao Wen struggled madly, and the lawyer who was a woman rushed over to hug Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wen gradually settled down in her arms. The father who knows the truth is very worried about the situation of his daughter, and when he sees Xiaowen going out in the middle of the night, his father follows behind his daughter and hears his daughter say that he is listening to the sound of the waves, and his father is relieved.
At the same time, Xiaomi bought a non-real-name telephone card, and then used this card to ask Chairman Liu for 10,000 yuan in cash, but the other party never replied to her. In the waiting, Xiaomi accompanied Lily to the small clinic for abortion surgery, the child is Xiao Jian, but he does not care at all. Lily was drunk and then completely dead hearted. The next day the female lawyer came to Xiaomi and asked her to take herself into the room where the crime occurred, but there was no clue inside, the female lawyer took out the photo of Xiaowen sleeping on the street to Xiaomi, hoping that she could see Xiaowen's pitiful share to help them, but Xiaomi scoffed, she sarcastically said to the lawyer: "I can only take seven or eight hundred people a month, why help people who spend seven or eight hundred to live outside for one night?" The female lawyer who choked on this sentence could not speak. Since sending the text message, Chairman Liu has not responded, Xiaomi simply found his place of work, while the other party is pushing the cup in the hotel to change the cup, Xiaomi asked the waiter to pass the letter to him.
Xiaowen's father, who had been avoiding responsibility, finally accepted his daughter. Under his care, Xiao Wen also did not resist contact with his father, just when he took his daughter out to swim, his boss found Xiao Wen's father and asked him to sign a letter of commitment, which asked him to promise that he would never speak indiscriminately, if he did not sign, he would lose his job and lose his residence, which was personally pressured by the Wang team, and he has now completely become an accomplice of Chairman Liu.
When Xiaomi returned from Chairman Liu, she found that the door of the hotel had been smashed. The manager gave Xiaomi money to let her get out of the egg, because the matter of her taking the female lawyer to see the room was known from above. Upset, Xiaomi chatted with Lily, but Lily told her that she was leaving. She proposed that Xiaomi apologize to the manager and let her stay, but Xiaomi knew that she would leave after all without an ID card. Then, she received a call from Chairman Liu, who agreed to give money and made an appointment with Xiaomi to pay the money.
At the same time, the parents of another victimized girl, Zhang Xinxin, found Xiaowen's father, and they said that as long as Xiaowen's father did not sue Chairman Liu, the other party could afford all of Xiaowen's tuition in the future. Xiao Wen's father was stunned by the shamelessness of the parents, and Zhang Xinxin's father has been speaking for President Liu, he rightly said that even if President Liu is sentenced, at most he will still come out in a few years, when he still calls the wind and rain, the two children will definitely be talked about by others, and the benefits are also for the sake of the child's future, Xiao Wen's father's eyes are red when he hears these words, and he presses the cigarette butt hard. There was only death-like silence in the house, and outside the house was the innocent laughter of Xiao Wen and Zhang Xinxin.
In the evening, Xiaomi rode an electric car in the trash can to get President Liu's money, she found Xiao Jian and wanted to do an ID card, but she did not expect the other party lion to open his mouth, and also mentioned the price to sixteen thousand, Xiaomi wanted to go back with the money first, did not expect to be beaten by the masked man on the road, all the things on his body were robbed, and Xiaomi, who had no money to see a doctor, could only call the female lawyer in the end. The female lawyer took care of Xiaomi regardless of the previous suspicions and paid her medical bills. In order to repay her, Xiaomi told the female lawyer where the video was hidden. The lawyer asked Xiaomi what her plans were for the future, after all, she couldn't go back to the hotel now. Xiaomi rarely showed her true emotions to the female lawyer who cared about her, and she told the female lawyer that she had sneaked out of the house, when she was also twelve years old, and this was her 15th place to stay. She likes it here because it's so warm that even beggars can sleep well. Hearing this, the female lawyer knew why Xiaomi had no feelings about Xiaowen sleeping on the street.
The female lawyer gave the found video to the Wang team. The evidence is conclusive, according to the legal procedures, Chairman Liu can be arrested, but the Wang team obviously will not let him fall, he deceived Xiaowen and Xiaowen's father to the hospital. Just when Xiaowen's father was confused, the Wang team held a press conference in the hospital in front of him, the doctor announced that the girl was not violated, the reporter took a photo as usual, and the police stopped Xiaowen's father who was about to rush over. Except for the victims, none of the people present were not Chairman Liu's helpers. Xiaowen broke down when he heard the news, and turned his eyes, there was no longer her figure in the room, only the open windows and the gently swaying pure white curtains saying something wordlessly.
Lily is gone, Xiao Jian does not care, he now has a "big business", that is, to force Xiaomi to sell himself. Xiaomi did not want to, so he arranged for people to stare at Xiaomi day and night. Xiaomi, who had no way, still gave in, and Xiao Jian was very satisfied with it. He greedily touched Xiaomi and asked her to remember never to keep the guests waiting. When that day came, Xiaomi put on the white dress that Lily had given her before leaving. The guest had not yet come to the door, and then she saw the news from the news that Xiaowen had been wronged. It turned out that Xiaowen was fine, and she ended up living with her father. The case was retried, and this time not only Chairman Liu was punished, but even the Wang Team and the doctors who made false testimonies were also punished by law. Xiaomi changed her mind, she secretly ran out of the room, struggling to break the chain of the electric car. Then rode it all the way to the far side
Directed by Wen Yan and starring Wen Qi and Zhou Meijun, Carnival was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 74th Venice Film Festival in 2017 and the Silver Hot Air Balloon Award at the 39th Nantes Three State Film Festival in 2017. The film is divided into two lines in the narrative plot, one is the innkeeper Xiaomi's, and the other is the victim girl Xiaowen's, these two lines are related to each other, but do not intersect. The film directly shows the harm of family and society to women. XiaoWen, Xiaomi, Lily, Xiaowen's mother, lawyers, these five women of different ages, together are a woman's floating and heavy life. In the whole movie, the director's rendering of feelings is very restrained, silent crying and oppressive environment, which can make people feel the pain, and finally Xiaomi rode away, indicating that contemporary women finally have the courage to fight. This movie is also called the Chinese version of the "melting pot", but I think this movie is higher than "The Melting Pot", which is greater than the redemption of others in "The Melting Pot", and the redemption and indomitability of Xiaomi and the lawyer's self.
