The Wedding Maidens

出嫁女

Also known as Chujia nu, Chu jia nu, 五人少女天国行, Five Girls and One Rope

Five young girls in a remote mountain village each find themselves forced into unhappy marriages. Together, they find solace in an old legend, that a girl may hang herself before marriage and retain her purity, her soul turning into a white bird and soaring to the heavenly garden, where there is only beauty and peace.
