Two pairs of mother and daughter, Laura (Lana Turner) and daughter Susie (Juanita Moore), lack of communication with their daughter because the mother is focused on her career, resulting in the tragedy that both mother and daughter love the same man at the same time. Another black mother and daughter they meet at the seaside, black mother Annie (Dan Ohrich), is sad and contradictory because of the fact that her mixed-race daughter always refuses to admit that she is black. But Annie, a kind-hearted woman, is always waiting for her daughter to come back, but her son wants to raise her and kiss her. This film tells the story of two tragedies with modern consciousness. This film is a social realistic film, which highlights the racial discrimination between blacks and whites and the education of their children. It can be said that it is a literary film whose routine is partial to Chinese literature and drama. Although it has an element of sensation, it is more profound than the average family film. It was filmed once in 1934.
