Description:
The film explores the complex identity and sense of belonging of an individual with Korean nationality but Japanese roots. The unique fragrance of 'shiso', a Japanese herb, metaphorically represents the distinct qualities that make up this person's identity. Through the death of their Korean-Japanese grandmother, the protagonist questions the legacy and endurance of the life of an outsider in society. As they navigate cultural nuances, familial ties, and societal expectations, the film delves into themes of identity, heritage, and the concept of 'home'. By blending personal narratives with universal human experiences, it invites viewers to reflect on their own notions of belonging and self-discovery.
