Synopsis "Muñecas chinas (in Spanish)"

Es 1938 en San Francisco: se prepara una feria mundial en Treasure Island, una guerra se está gestando en el extranjero, y la ciudad está llena de posibilidades. Grace, Helen, y Ruby, tres mujeres jóvenes de muy diferentes orígenes, se conocen por casualidad en el exclusivo club nocturno Ciudad Prohibida. Grace Lee, una niña china nacida en Estados Unidos, ha huido del Medio Oeste con nada más que dolor de corazón, el talento, y un par de zapatos de baile. Helen Fong vive con su familia en el barrio chino, donde sus padres insisten en que, según la tradición, se custodie su reputación como un pedazo de jade. Y Ruby Tom rompe los límites de la convención a cada paso con su actitud desafiante y su ambición.
