A documentary following "Wansei," Japanese people who were born and raised in Taiwan before World War II, as they return to their homeland and visit old friends. From the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895 to the end of the war in 1945, Taiwan was under Japanese rule. During this time, civil servants, corporate employees, and agricultural workers, among others, crossed the sea from Japan to Taiwan. After Japan's defeat, most of them were forcibly repatriated to mainland Japan by the Republic of China. The number of repatriates reached 500,000, of which about 200,000 were "Wansei" born and raised in Taiwan. This film follows the elderly "Wansei" as they visit their Taiwanese homeland after 70 years since the war, depicting their lives and the feelings of those repatriated.
