Plot

Hanako, a Japanese woman, goes to Germany to see the meaningful suicide note left by her first love, Kentaro Yamagawa. Lee Geun-ho, who leaves for Germany as Hanako's interpreter, learns about Kentaro’s painful life in the process of confirming his death. Kentaro (Kim Sang-ho) was a second-generation Korean living in Japan, who was implicated in the 1967 East Berlin Incident and spent 17 years in prison, after which he moved to Germany and lived there for 20 years. He went to Germany to study music to avoid discrimination, but even there, he was conscious of being a foreigner.
