El legado

History has left an indelible mark on the family that stars in this saga: their eventful lives span more than a hundred years of Japanese history, from colonial times to the present day, passing through emigration to the United States and, above all, the World War II on the Pacific front. Thus, while a retired doctor must face the moral consequences of his terrible acts in times of war, a woman reveals in an interview a murder during the harsh American Occupation, or a man in adulthood learns that he was not born to his parents Japanese, but of a Korean recruit enslaved to build the war bunker for the Japanese emperor. Everyone, to a greater or lesser extent, faces a legacy of loss, imperialism, and war.
