Description: Documentary film about Jewish and Asian women who play Mahjong.
Mention the game Mah-Jongg to a woman who plays it and something very special happens. Her eyes light up, she smiles and may laugh, and then she begins to speak. Even someone at first shy or reluctant to speak suddenly come alive with impassioned stories of her life, and of the bonds that develop between the women who meet ritually every week, sometimes more, to play, to escape, and most importantly, to be together until all hours of the night. Ask members of her family about the game and they speak invariably of the noise of the tiles, the food that gets eaten, the gossip that gets traded, and the sacred place the game holds in their family history, all stemming from her dedication and devotion to the playing of this game.
