Among the Yi people in China's southern province of Yunnan, certain feudalistic traditions are still very much alive. One husband can have several wives; one wife, several husbands; and a father decides whom his daughter will marry. The younger generation, exposed to the outside world through television and urban employment, are objecting. Anni is a 21-year-old receptionist. Her family is a large one: her father, his two wives, and her five siblings. Recently, on trips back to her hometown, she has been urged by her father to marry a local Yi man. Anni rejects the idea: she wants her husband to be someone she loves and chooses to marry. Will her springtime really come?
