Хуэйхуа, первокурсница музыкальной школы, изнасилована профессором Ли. Она подает на него иск с помощью другого профессора, в котором участвует его друг-адвокат Фан Анью. Поскольку фильм фокусируется на вторичном насилии над Хуэйхуа, он сужается до внутренней жизни персонажей. Почему Фан Аньюй защищает Хуэйхуа, когда его брак рушится?
