Every mother longs for the love of her daughter and to break through the barriers that often stand in the way of understanding each other. Every daughter dreams of earning the affection and approval of her mother and to feel that there is something of value to be shared between them. This is the story of four remarkable women whose extraordinary lives are filled with love and tragedy, richness and magic, and who are sustained by the hopes and dreams they have for their daughters. a young woman, June, is invited to join the Joy Luck Club--the weekly mahjong group of her recently deceased mother Suyuan. As a portrait of the club's three "aunties" -- Lindo, An Mei and Ying Ying -- unfolds, it reveals a mosaic of the startling events and conditions that have shaped their lives, and the lives of their precious daughters.
"Produced by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone (1986 Best Director - Platoon), The Joy Luck Club tells the epic story of four families whose extraordinary lives are filled with joy and heartbreak, richness and magic. From the war-torn fields of early-century China to the streets of modern-day San Francisco, the hopes, dreams and triumphs of two generations are revealed through the startling events that shaped their lives. Based on the powerful #1 best-selling book by Amy Tan, this richly moving saga has been hailed by critics as a must-see film."

"Four mothers. Four daughters. Eight stories. The Joy Luck Club is four women in San Francisco who have played mah jong together on a weekly basis to for forty some years. One of them, Suyuan, has died, and her daughter June is preparing to go to China. Auntie Lindo with daughter Waverly, Auntie Ying Ying with daughter Lena, and Auntie An Mei with daughter Rose are at the going away party. Born in China, the Joy Luck Club members came to America as young adults; their daughters are 100% American. The old days are seldom spoken about, and some things about those times have never been said aloud, but the experiences left behind color the hopes and expectations these women have for their daughters. If daughters become their mothers--no matter how much both parties desire that it not happen--daughters also become different from their mothers--despite all attempts to perpetuate the status quo."@en

"Juxtaposes scenes from the lives of four Chinese women in pre-1949 China and the lives of their American-born daughters to show how the mothers' experiences in China and as immigrants in the United States shaped their dreams for their daughters' lives."
"This melodrama is an intimate chronicle of multiple generations of Chinese-American women spanning feudal China and modern America. The club of the title is a group of four older Chinese women who have met every week since 1949 to play mah jong, and to compare stories of their families and their grandchildren. All have made harrowing journeys from pre-revolutionary China to San Francisco where they have built financially comfortable lives. Their personal narratives are compared with those of their four 'new generation' American born daughters who are struggling to define their own identities against the expectations of their mothers. Flashbacks to critical moments in the relationships between the four pairs of mothers and daughters highlight the differences and connections between the two generations. Wang masterfully interweaves the stories of the eight women into a rhythmic emotional flow without over-sentimentality."@en
