Documentary

MR. KIM AND SISTER LOTUS

The directors delve into their Korean-German family’s past to find out why moving to far-off Europe didn’t bring their parents the happiness they had hoped for. Why they instead went through painful experiences which they kept silent about, which still cast shadows on their families.
