Bingbing Li, Vivian Wu.
Centuries ago, two 'sworn sisters' are isolated by their families, but stay connected through a secret language written in the folds of a white silk fan. Now in modern-day Shanghai, their descendents must draw inspiration from the past as they struggle to maintain their own eternal bond in the face of life's complications. What unfolds are two stories, generations apart, but everlasting in their universal notion of love, hope and friendship.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Best Chinese language chick-flick ever submitted by shumoon on July 28, 2015, 6:57am While I'm not the biggest fan of desequenced storylines (I prefer a linear story over a "Pulp fiction"-type arrangement), I love the way this film does its flashbacks, with a different color scheme from the present-day scenes. The back and forth is easier to follow and enjoyable to watch.
