Obachan

The story of a Japanese woman who left her native archipelago in 1941 to marry a compatriot living in Mexico, a man 17 years her senior. Through fragments of home moves, anime, and filmed sequences, the director sculpts a complex and delicate memory landscape between the two shores of the Pacific.
