This extraordinary animated documentary delves into the unique childhood of filmmaker Jung Henin, one of the many Korean children adopted by Western families following the Korean War. It narrates the journey of a young boy caught between two distinct cultures. Through a series of animated scenes—ranging from the comedic to the poetic—the film follows Jung from the moment he meets his new blonde siblings, through his elementary school days, and into his teenage years, when his developing sense of self begins to cause tension at home and reveal the underlying prejudices of his adoptive parents. The filmmaker shares his story by blending his own animations with clips of super-8 family videos and archival footage. The outcome is a unique animated memoir that is candid and unwavering, yet also humorous and, most importantly, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
