It is an omnibus music film that unfolds in a space where the sweat and sacrifice of our ancestors is reflected in the scenery of Hawaii.

Movingly illuminates the life and devotion of immigrant women through the true story of ‘Im Ok-soon,’ a photo bride who went to Hawaii
Part 3: Kalaupapa’s Tears
A requiem for the portraits of Korean ancestors who had to face lonely deaths in isolation in a place called ‘Sorokdo’ in Hawaii, and a narrative of love and hope that bloomed there.
