Synopsis:

A grand saga spanning three generations, tells of the struggle of mothers and their daughters in China. A realistic, intimate tale, full of powerfully candid insights, in a heart wrenchingly beautiful film for Mother, Daughter, Wife and Lover. Set over fifty years, it follows the lives of Mo in the 1930s, Li in the 1950s and Hua in the 1980s. Detailing all the triumphs, tragedies, loves, hopes and betrayals of the three members of the family. A sumptuous, captivating story for every woman.

Spanning five generations, Jasmine Women is a multiple-hankie "women's picture." Based on a novel by Su Tong (also the author of Raise the Red Lantern), this grand epic of the struggle of mothers and daughters has a classic Hollywood feel, but replacing the sudsy gloss with a more realistic melodramatic approach Chinese filmmakers have always had a special handle on. Think Zhang Yimou directing Imitation of Life.

Generational family saga set in Shanghai in the thirties, sixties and eighties.
