With her ingenuity, Jasmine became the liaison of the poker game, and the poker game business became more and more prosperous, but she was fired by the jealous boss. Unwilling, Jasmine began to organize her own poker game. While her business was getting better and better, she also began to fall into the whirlpool of rivers and lakes.
The film is adapted from real events and uses flashbacks to tell the story from the time Molly faced the risk of jail and had to turn to black lawyer Charlie. Indeed, from the appearance alone, the first impression of Jasmine in the film is that of a dusty woman with a good story to eat with her face. Such a woman often has no moral integrity, but as the two communicated, Charlie found that Jasmine was very handsome. Far more noble than the well-dressed gangsters in the game, this woman who guarded her credibility like a lifeguard (even if it cost her a prison sentence) eventually won his respect. In the icy rivers and lakes, she relies on her own wisdom to navigate between various forces, never develops more than friendship with anyone in the game, and carefully avoids various legal red lines.

As a semi-biographical film, the 140-minute length of the film is not short, but the excellent narrative skills, various dazzling poker tactics and warm ending make people have endless aftertastes after watching it. After all, love is the common language of human beings.
