An uncensored, eye-opening, and laugh-out-loud funny portrait of
modern China as seen through the lives and loves of four
professional women in contemporary Beijing.
Divorce, oral sex, plastic surgery. Indulging in a Starbucks
coffee, admitting to the emotional repercussions of a one-night
stand, giggling over watching pornography.
These once taboo subjects have become the substance of daily
conversations and practices among urban women in contemporary
Beijing. It seems that no one remembers what happened at Tiananmen
Square in 1989.
A cross between "Sex and the City" and "The Joy Luck Club,"
"The People's Republic of Desire" follows four sassy gals as they
preen and pounce among Beijing's Westernized professional class,
exultantly obsessed with brand names, celebrity, and sex.
