甫喪母的菁妹得知素未謀面、同母異父的姊姊仍生活在母親故鄉,計畫啟程拜訪。臨行前,母親生前與閨密組成的「喜福會」邀她餞別,這群中國移民母親回憶起當年如何掙脫苦難、遠渡重洋,盼望在異鄉重獲新生;然而她們四位在美國成長的女兒,仍無意間承襲了母親的創傷陰影。宴席上,往昔故事逐一揭開,彼此的心意終被領會。
改編自譚恩美同名暢銷小說,為好萊塢片廠中少見由華人監製、編導,且全由亞裔卡司主演的開創之作。王穎以牌桌及宴席為引,交錯旁白及回憶,輪舞般串聯四組母女的生命經歷,柔情勾勒華人移民的家族記憶、世代隔閡與文化拉扯,深掘她們難以言說、靜水流深般的愛與牽絆。
Adapted from Amy Tan's acclaimed 1989 novel, the film follows four young Chinese American women and their mothers as they navigate memories of sacrifice, love, and resilience. After June's mother passes away, her three "aunties" from the Joy Luck Club reunite to reflect on their journeys—from war-torn China to the struggles of immigrant life in America—revealing the bonds and generational conflicts that shape mother-daughter relationships across cultures.
