Born in postwar Japan, Akemi searches for the unknown American sailor who was her biological father. At age 65, she embarks on a journey of discovery with her sister using DNA data and US census records from the 1940s. Their findings lead them to a new set of family and shed light on a long-forgotten love affair that changed the course of their lives.
