In the ranks of the Japanese army during WWII, there existed what was known as comfort women. In the present, that term was replaced by a definition that is closer to reality—they were women who had been kidnapped and turned into sex slaves. After a long period of humiliation, the victims remained quiet, but some of them built up the courage to write about their ordeals in a series of letters. Cecilia Kang’s new documentary recovers those testimonies in order to talk about the way in which History and social mandates affect the lives of Korean women in Argentina, from the perspective of a young acting student who, after coming into contact with this correspondence, allows herself to reflect on the community she lives in and understand more about the traditions of her people as well as her own family history.

Юная Ирис любит баскетбол и своих двоюродных братьев Дарио и Але. Подростки живут в одном из рабочих кварталов Корриентеса – города, расположенного на севере Аргентины. Их район трудно назвать благополучным. Школа не играет в жизни детей особой роли, их матери вечно заняты на работе, а отцов вообще нет на горизонте. Скрывать свою сексуальность тут тоже не принято. Дарио – открытый гей, Але – скорее бисексуален. К Ирис постоянно подкатывают местные парни, но ей нравится Рената – девушка с тёмным прошлым, которая совсем недавно вернулась в город после долгого отсутствия.
