Marion DiNicola, Neighbor

In 19th-century China, seven year old girls Snow Flower and Lily are matched as laotong - or "old sames" - bound together for eternity. Isolated by their families, they furtively communicate by taking turns writing in a secret language, nu shu, between the folds of a white silk fan.

 

Starring: Bingbing Li, Gianna Jun and Vivian Wu.
