Yukio is a young Japanese American imprisoned in an internment camp during World War II. When he is offered an opportunity to leave the camp, he must confront past trauma and consider the true cost of freedom. At a time when hate crimes against Asian Americans are on the rise, this timely film shows the lasting effects of prejudice.
