Forcibly adopted by her grandfather at a very young age, Sayome grew up in a remote Japanese village, without knowing her mother. At 22, she left Japan, following a Greek sailor to the island of Crete. There, she replaced her homeland with a new culture, a new language and family. 35 years later, her mother’s death triggers her need to return home. We follow her journey from Crete to Japan, as she revisits the land of her childhood. A film about family and identity. |
