During Japan's occupation of Korea, a Japanese woman goes to Seoul to join her Korean lover. Back at the end of the Second World War, she brought a girl into the world, in Pyongyang, then had to flee. She returned to Japan, alone.
I dream of this woman, a foreigner, my unknown grandmother, deceased, without a name, without a face, isolated between two countries, simultaneously near and far, Korea and Japan. I dream of my mother, also so far away.
Over three generations, mothers and daughters remain strangers to one another. "Yukiko" is a story of missed transmissions, it is an attempt to retrieve fragments of stories, memories in tatters.
