Plots(1)
In a Chinese town in the 1920’s, four wives in a polygamous marriage jockey for what limited power is available to them within a claustrophobic and patriarchal household. Issues of class, gender and sexual hierarchies, and questions about the role of history versus fate emerge in the increasingly tension-filled atmosphere of this marital hothouse, where servants who are keenly aware of rank and status also act to resist and perpetuate the traditions of the Chen household.

This movie can captivate you with its story, but it will also enchant you the most with its beautiful visual side, especially the scenes with snow, which are simply gorgeous. This is something that can charm you, something you want to look at, because it is beautiful. And intertwined with the red splatters, a tragic story emerges about the destructive power of traditions.
