Through three chapters, the film explores the contested memory of Japan’s “comfort women” — Korean women who were subjected to systematic sexual violence during World War II. Today, monuments honoring the victims are under threat of removal. What happens when history is rewritten to appease those in power? How does this shape our view of both the past and the future? A striking examination of power, historical revisionism, and the struggle to preserve collective memory.
