Dos chicas de Shanghai

In the dazzling, cosmopolitan Shanghai of 1937, sisters Pearl and May Chin live a life of privilege and glamour. As celebrated "beautiful girls," their faces adorn calendars and advertisements across the city. They are young, modern, and blissfully unaware of the turmoil on the horizon. But their world is shattered when their father's gambling debts lead to a devastating consequence: the sisters are sold into arranged marriages with strangers from a distant land, America.

Forced to leave everything they know behind, their arranged future is violently interrupted by the Japanese invasion. Their journey to Los Angeles is a harrowing flight for survival that tests their spirits and their bond in unimaginable ways. Arriving in a new country, they find not a golden land of opportunity, but a life of hardship and discrimination in Chinatown. Bound by circumstance and a life-altering secret, Pearl and May must navigate a strange new world while contending with the deep-seated rivalries and fierce love that can only exist between sisters. This is a story of survival, the immigrant experience, and the intricate, unbreakable ties of family.
