An elderly woman shuffles around the neighborhood grocery store where she works, attending to the mundane tasks of shopkeeping. Her face is obscured to protect the family she left behind as she describes her harrowing escape from North Korea. Through her disembodied voice, a universal story unfolds, one of loss, exile, and cultivating roots in a new land.
