Taken from a true episode...a young Japanese, volunteering in Iraq is taken hostage. When she returns home she is hated and ostracized by everyone...for being different. She and her family are harassed constantly, leading to her father's suicide.
The film was all hand-held which worked as we follow her around. The lead was excellent. The extreme behavior with which she was treated was impossible for me to understand or accept...but there it was.
An interesting window into another, alien culture.
