Synopsis of The Binding Chair

Ambientada en Shanghái a principios del siglo XX, 'The Binding Chair' entrelaza los destinos de una mujer china decidida a olvidar su pasado y una joven occidental centrada en las promesas del futuro. May escapa de un matrimonio arreglado en la China rural del siglo XIX para vivir en un burdel de Shanghái, donde conoce a Arthur, un australiano cuyos esfuerzos filantrópicos le llevan de un apuro a otro. Como miembro de la Sociedad para la Emancipación de los Pies, Arthur recurre a May no por placer, sino para su rehabilitación, solo para encontrarse inmediatamente y sin remedio seducido por la visión de sus pies vendados. Reformar a May está fuera de discusión, por lo que Arthur, enamorado, se casa con ella y la lleva a casa para vivir con él, su hermana y su cuñado, y sus dos hijas, Alice y Cecily.
