How do we decide where is home? For millions of immigrants, loyalties are divided between the land of their birth and the country in which they choose to live. Feeling increasingly isolated in her adopted homeland of the United States, accomplished documentarian Dai Sil Kim-Gibson travels to Cuba to discover stories from a relatively unknown group in the Asian diaspora. There, she meets Martha, a woman of Korean descent, who after the Revolution began identifying herself as Cuban, not Korean. Kim-Gibson then travels to Miami to meet Martha’s émigré sister and her extended, multicultural family.

The filmmaker asks probing questions to both the Cuban and U.S. branches of the family about the issues of economic and social justice in socialism and capitalism, and about issues of identity. With extended interviews and photographs from the personal archives of her subjects, Kim-Gibson explores the complex ways in which we determine our ethnic, national, and cultural loyalties. The stories of both women and their families weave a complex web that searches for an understanding of "motherland" in a globalized society.
