Hi,

Found this one on arte website,

Plot: Hung-hsia, a 12-year-old Burmese girl in a village in northern Myanmar, is married off to a Chinese family in Yunnan, China. At the time of the wedding, the groom is unable to attend this ceremony, and Hung-hsia has to complete the wedding ritual with a rooster.

Sounds like an abreviation but I can't figure out what
I was thinking Malaysia but I think I'm wrong

Ah, thank you!

I never even heard of Myanmar so I would have never guessed that (And I completely forgot IMDb lists the country of origin for a sec.. Just woke up and I'm still half asleep)

IMDB and Plex call this a Documentary. I call that nonsense, so I left it in Short Films. Other sites do not consider it a documentary either.
