Summary:

A documentary about the past and present experiences of a group of "comfort women," who during World War II were abducted and forced into sexual servitude for the Japanese army. In the course of making this documentary, director Byun Young-joo gradually becomes close to the now-elderly women who meet every week to protest in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul. In presenting these women's stories, their campaign to receive a formal apology from the Japanese government and the circumstances of their present lives, the film provides an insightful portrait of the vicitms of one of the worst crimes of the 20th century.
