Beautiful local Li and Jewish refugee Romy form a fierce friendship, but the deepening shadows of World War II fall over them as they slip between the city's glamorous French Concession district and the teeming streets of the Shanghai Ghetto. 2016: Fleeing London with a broken heart, Alexandra returns to Australia and her grandparents, Romy and Wilhelm.
