One Hundred Secret Feelings

San Francisco, 1962. Six-year-old Olivia is frightened: she has been told that the older daughter of her father will move into their home, having been brought from a Chinese village. “Is she going to live here instead of me?” —... “No, of course not! She will live here with you.” However, the girl cannot overcome her distrust toward her sister. First, Guan speaks poor English, and second, she tires Olivia out with her endless love... And Guan also claims that she can communicate with the spirits of the deceased. Is she perhaps crazy? Years have passed. The sisters have long lived separately, but Guan, to Olivia's annoyance, is still endlessly attached to her. Everything changes when the women travel together to China, to Guan's homeland. It is here, in a remote village, that Olivia will come to understand the true value of her older sister's feelings, as well as comprehend the motives behind many of her actions. The secret gradually becomes evident…
