Plot
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.
