Kiri’s once joyful piano music turns bitter when forced relocation and internment take away her husband, her home and her family’s simple fishing life along the B.C. coast. But her beloved piano proves a powerful ally in her quest to retain her dignity and personal freedom.

Inspired by Canadian folk singer James Keelaghan's 1988 song of the same name, the film chronicles one woman's sacrifice in the face of rampant prejudice tearing her Japanese-Canadian family apart.

Produced and directed by France Benoit. Music sound track, “Une barque sur l’océan” by Maurice Ravel, performed by Lisa Tahara.
