==Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©==
Sung-Ho ([[Arata Iura]]) arrives in Japan, but his stay is only temporary. 25 years earlier, as a 16-year-old boy, he left Japan for North Korea with only a one way ticket. His father is an ethnic Korean living in Japan and sympathetic to the North Korea cause. Believing in the North Korean government's promises, Sung-Ho's father sent Sung-Ho to live in North Korea.

Now, Sung-Ho is back in Japan. His stay is for only 3 months and he has arrived with other Japanese-North Koreans who have serious medical conditions. Sung-Ho is to receive medical treatment in Japan and he can also see his family during his stay. All the while, Sung-Ho is watched over constantly by North Korean compatriot Mr. Yang ([[Yang Ik-June]]). Sung-Ho knows any behavior that maybe construed as unsympathetic to his adopted country of North Korea could affect his wife and son back in North Korea. Meanwhile, his sister Rie ([[Sakura Ando]]) and mother ([[Yoshiko Miyazaki]]) bask in the return of normalcy of their family unit, even if its just temporary.
