In 1991, a young Burmese escaped from the military junta in Myanmar to seek refuge in Japan. Reunited with his wife, he opened a restaurant and lived peacefully for 20 years. Yet he continued to participate in the democratization of Myanmar. This is a moving story covering 14 years spent as a refugee in Japan, torn between his homeland and newly adopted country.
