The Japan-born son of an illegal Thai immigrant faces deportation under Japan's increasingly conservative immigration policy. Filmed in careful detail, Prapat Jiwarangsan draws a portrait of the young man by scratching onto a photograph of his silhouette, a process that brings out his humanity more than an anonymous state statistic.

In the last couple of years, thousands of illegal Thai migrant workers in South Korea are deported back to Thailand, while thousands more slipped through the borders to take up both legal and illegal jobs. Calling themselves ‘ghosts’, they left their homeland for a foreign country whose language they cannot speak, work towards an uncertain future, and hide like phantoms to evade the authorities. The film observes the situation of these workers, as well as visits the other generation of Thai migrant worker in South Korea, an 80 year-old Thai veteran who once fought a Korean war.
