After her mother vanishes in Japan with her aunt's ashes, Hyun-ji begins a reluctant search with her irritating father.

Hyun-ji, 30, is a "boomerang child," dreaming of escape while still living with her parents. She’s stuck between a tyrannical, control-freak father and a suffocatingly silent mother. When her aunt dies in Japan, her mother flies out alone and promptly vanishes.

Hyun-ji reluctantly heads to Japan with her stubborn father, only to face an absurd reality: Mom has bolted with her sister’s funeral urn. Joined by a Japanese-speaking uncle and an English-speaking cousin, this multilingual confusion sets off on a wild pursuit. Chasing her leads them straight into uncomfortable family truths.

Believing we fully know our family is a convenient avoidance in our frantic lives. Striving to survive, we paradoxically grow ignorant of those closest to us. Following a disappeared mother, the film unmasks the raw reality hidden behind outdated roles. Rejecting forced reconciliation for the unvarnished truth, the characters finally face each other as individuals. I hope this audacious journey comforts those who, in their race forward, lost sight of who stood right beside them.
