Between Goodbyes
An adoptee raised in the Netherlands, Mieke’s life is very different from the one she might have led if her Korean family had not been pressured to give her up as a baby. When Mieke's birth parents track her down in adulthood, their reunion unleashes a whirlwind of guilt, joy, regret, and ambivalence. Through non-linear storytelling, we witness the family’s journey towards reconnection in this unique tale of home, acceptance, and the power of forgiveness.
