Bright, lively Shanghai, 1937. Chinese sisters Pearl and Mei enthusiastically attend social parties, flirt and pose for fashionable artists. However, the glamorous life of the girls does not last long: the father of the beauties falls into financial bondage to the local mafia. To survive, he sells his daughters as wives to the sons of a rich Chinese man living in America, but the outbreak of the Japanese-Chinese war disrupts all plans. Famine, bombings, general chaos... Cruel trials fall on the heads of both sisters. In addition, Pearl and May become guardians of a secret that can't be trusted to anyone in the world.
