The Place Returned To

Overview

The film is told through the eyes of a granddaughter who recorded the memories of her grandfather, who was forcibly mobilized to Palau during the Pacific War. Through the military facilities left behind by the Japanese forces during the colonial period and the sites that still bear traces of Yeosu–Suncheon 10·19 (1948), the film follows the remnants of two tragedies that intersected in one man’s life and continue to linger in the present.
