Set in modern China, "February Flowers" tells the stories of two
young women's journeys to self-discovery and reconciliation with
the past.
Seventeen-year-old Ming and twenty-four-year-old Yan have very
little in common other than studying at the same college. Ming,
idealistic and preoccupied, lives in her own world of books, music,
and imagination. Yan, by contrast, is sexy but cynical, beautiful
but wild, with no sense of home. When the two meet and become
friends, Ming's world is forever changed. But their differences in
upbringing and ideology ultimately drive them apart, leaving each
to face her dark secret alone.
Insightful, sophisticated, and rich with complex characters,
"February Flowers" captures a society torn between tradition and
modernity, dogma and freedom. It is a meditation on friendship,
family, love, loss, and redemption and how a background shapes a
life.
