Snow Flower & The Secret Fan
Inspired by the best-selling novel by Lisa See, this is the remarkable story of seven-year-old girls Snow Flower and Lily, in 19th Century China, who had their feet bound at the same age and on the same day, which sealed their fates together.
In a parallel story in present day Shanghai, their descendants, Nina and Sofia, struggle to maintain their own childhood friendship in the face of demanding careers and complicated love lives. What unfolds are two stories, generations apart, but everlasting in their universal notion of love, hope and friendship.
