Confrontational and speculative, this highly personal film reckons with how trauma fractures memory as Lee revisits the people and places of her childhood in Toronto, Canada, and Hwasun, South Korea, her place of birth.

A looming figure in this search is Lee’s now 90-year-old father, who met her mother while serving in a national intelligence agency under dictator Park Chung Hee in 1960s South Korea.

Through a fabric of real and imagined stories, Lee reveals that some of them must still be told, even when the words are forgotten.
