Islands

Qiao Hai Yun (Song Chun Li), the family matriarch, insists all family members return home for New Year, but her granddaughter Li Yi Jin (Sandra Ma) challenges this tradition. Yi Jin, daughter of Meng Ming Wei (Xu Fan), struggles under her mother's high expectations, which have strained their relationship. Her aunt Meng Wang Qing (Liang Jing) and cousin Tao Shu Na (Sun Qian) discover hidden secrets that test their seemingly perfect bond, while the youngest daughter Meng Yi An (Li Xiao Ran) continually fights against her predetermined path. Despite their differences, these three generations of Meng women remain deeply connected, supporting each other through life's challenges. As Yi Jin's rebellion threatens to disrupt their family dynamic, they must determine whether their familial ties are strong enough to withstand potential conflict. Adapted from "She and Her Islands" by Yi Nan, this is a 2024 Chinese family drama directed by Lin Yan.
