(A Love Story)

Beschreibung

MANILA, THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 1930 When the innocent and extraordinarily beautiful Mila Alvarez takes the stage at the Olympic Stadium one fateful night as the newly-named MIAMI, she has no idea of the journey that lies before her. She transforms from a young, sheltered school girl into an intuitively inventive and bold new star and soon finds fame and adoration throughout Southeast Asia and beyond. Along the way comes handsome Lt. John Holbrook who wreaks havoc on her young life as World War 2 looms ever closer. When she crosses paths with Japanese industrialist Koda Sato her life changes its trajectory. MIYAMI-SAN is a story of love in all forms and how life is not about the storm - but learning how to dance in the rain.
