SYNOPSIS

Haunted by his late grandmother’s silence about her imprisonment in a Japanese-run camp in Indonesia during WWII, her grandson sets out to uncover the truth about her past. Over six years, he and filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Brelière travel across Indonesia, the Netherlands and Australia, piecing together the life of a remarkable woman and confronting a family trauma passed down through generations.
