Snow flower and the secret fan [videorecording] / Fox Searchlight Pictures presents in association with IDC China Creative Media Limited ; a Big Feet production ; produced by Wendi Murdoch, Florence Sloan ; directed by Wayne Wang.
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.
