10 year old Duo Er is reluctant to attend her violin lessons. Her mother pushes her to continue, but Duo Er carries a secret she cannot share. 

Data from the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) showed that 10,782 child sexual assault cases were heard by courts all of China from 2013 to 2016. It means at least seven children were harmed every day on average. The story of Broken Flowers is based on real social issue. I hope it could help to raise the awareness for the audience to care the safety of children.
