In his affectionate diasporic family narrative, the director immerses the viewer in the intimate memories and imagination of four women in his Japanese American family. Collage-like CG meshes with oral history, and poetry accents 16mm footage of the local bingo hall and staged sequences in an Asian grocery store, where everyday anxieties of shopping, paying the bills, and flying are ruptured by dreams of financial freedom and homecoming.
