synopsis
故事梗概
The 92-year-old previous nightclub dancer Coby Yee decides to get back on stage again after joining the senior dance troupe Grant Avenue Follies. Together they go on a tour for the last time, bridging once isolated Chinese communities in the US, Cuba and China.
作为旧金山唐人街黄金年代的亲历者,一群七旬至九旬的美国华裔舞者再度走上巡演之路,从美国、古巴,最终来到中国,谱写出一曲海内外华人世界交汇的动人乐章。
