Overview

After an unexpected visit, 84-year-old Nami opens up to her granddaughter Midori, revealing long-buried family secrets and childhood traumas from 1940s Brazil. At the same time, she watches her other grandson, Jun, become consumed by the hatred of political polarization. It's election day. Past and present, life and death, East and West, left and right all merge within this family, much like a moti, a traditional Japanese sweet.
