SAYOME

Forcibly adopted by her grandfather at a very young age, Sayome grew up in a remote Japanese village, without knowing her mother. At 22, she left Japan, following a Greek sailor to the island of Crete. There, she replaced her homeland with a new culture, a new language and family. Thirty-five years later, her mother’s death triggers her need to return home. We follow her journey from Crete to Japan, as she revisits the land of her childhood. A film about family and identity.
