Synopsis: Three narratives arise through three generations of a family migrating across three different continents. Starting in Croatia in 1910, an emigrant longs for change, we then move to Wyoming, United Stated in the 1940s as a woman feels love and loss during World War II, to a family in the pursuit of progress migrating to Japan in the 1980s. The multiple generations show the innate human nature of movement, and migration often wrongly squeezed into a narrative of legality. The family is not connected by time but by their history as immigrants. Many of the people from the United States who come from lines of immigration from Europe do not have to face the struggles of more recent immigrants. The overarching story reveals the common themes of immigrants are not different to the current landscape of immigration.
