- Synopsis
- This film delves into the historical experiences of Park Soo-nam, born in colonial-era Japan, retracing the journey of the history of ZainichiーKorean in Japan. Through the lens of two 16mm documentary films shot since 1986 and the restoration of unreleased footage, it resurrects the testimonies of witnesses. The film raises questions for audiences, probing what was lost through colonization and war, and serves as a record of the struggle to reclaim those losses.
  
  Shedding light from the past to the present, it challenges us to ponder the essence of documentary filmmaking and raises inquiries about the significance of reclaiming what was lost in the face of historical injustices.
  
  This film is a collaborative effort between the director Park Soo-nam, who has now lost her eyesight, and her daughter and co-director Park Maeui.
