A tear-jerking documentary that follows 18-year-old Rediet Adane back to her birth country of Ethiopia for the first time since she was adopted from an orphanage at age 5. Having lost everything, including her birth parents, native language and culture, she now returns to her homeland as a virtual foreigner hoping to reconnect with her past, rediscover her rich heritage, and reunite with her living relatives. This intimately shot video diary centers around the importance of family, community, culture and identity.
