Storyline

in memoriam of those lost to war, all those lost to history. the infusion of tragedy across lineage. part one is told from the perspective of a victim of World War II Japanese atrocities (or, rather, the second Sino Japanese War); part two details her daughter's movement through life without a mother, and the discovery that her father isn't her biological father; part three sees the granddaughter processing the things her mother and grandmother left for her (material and spiritual). more about the Comfort Women: https://www.awf.or.jp/e1/facts-12.html more about the Rape of Nanking: https://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/nanking.htm
