From the director of THE JOY LUCK CLUB and based on the best selling novel, SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN is a timeless portrait of female friendship. In 19th century China, Snow Flower and Lily are matched as laotong - bound together for eternity. Isolated by their families, they furtively communicate by taking turns writing in a secret language between the folds of a white silk fan. In present day Shanghai, the laotong's descendants Nina and Sophia, struggle to maintain their own childhood friendship in the face of demanding careers, complicated love lives, and a relentlessly evolving Shanghai. Drawing on the lessons of the past, the two modern women must understand the story of their ancestral connection, hidden from them in the folds of the antique white silk fan, or risk losing one another forever.
