Interesante metafora sobre la historia china reciente, que sigue los avatares de dos prostitutas quienes sufren en carne propia las consecuencias de la purga maoista, y los diferentes caminos que se ven forzadas a seguir. Film de notable factura y gran belleza visual, esta es otra buena muestra del gran nivel alcanzado por la cinbematografia china en los años 90.
