Sinopsys:

The film begins with the director’s return to Japan and the memories of her own family, shaped by the movement of Japanese-Brazilian migrants who left to work in factories. Between intimate recollections and historical archives, it traces the experience of thousands of Brazilians living between two countries, where labor is necessary—but belonging remains provisional.
