Ninety Degrees of Separation
Trapped between love and lust, Sue-Ling flees Beijing, taking one daughter, Jay-Ann, with her to Hong Kong, and leaving the younger one, Jay-May, behind. Jay-Ann, beautiful yet headstrong, is a prisoner to vanity. She craves undiluted love, but has to share her mother's attention with her sister, who is like a phantom that keeps taking things away from her, but she has no way to fight back. In contrast, Jay-May is timid and sweet, growing up in Beijing with her grandma and a neighbor boy named Ming-Wei. When the Culture Revolution comes, they are scattered like chaff in a strong wind.
