[ Story ]

In Kawasaki, where factories in which Koreans were forced to work during the war still stand, four Japanese and Koreans confront Korean-Japanese history and struggle toward building a cultural bridge that crosses the generations. Third-year high-school student Takagi Kumiko takes part in a homestay exchange program with students from Bucheon, Korea. The Reverend Sekita Hiroo continues his 30-year struggle for coexistence and human rights. Second-generation zainichi Song Bu-ja performs a one-woman show celebrating her own three-generation family history, having overcome experiences of discrimination. And Kim Kyung-suk faces the last fight of his life in court. Director Kim Duk-chul is a renowned Korean-Japanese filmmaker who began his career as cinematographer for fiction films like Yun’s Town (dir. Kim Woo-sung, 1989) and won many prizes with his first documentary The River of Reconciliation (1994, co-dir. Mori Yasuyuki).
