Documentary and narrative techniques mix to tell the true story of Holocaust victim Hana Brady. The film retraces a series of coincidences that lead Tokyo school teacher Fumiko Ishioka to a suitcase that belonged to Hana, a Czech Jewish orphan. Through dogged research, Ishioka, who is also the director of the Tokyo Holocaust Education Center, and her students piece together a portrait of Hana while learning important life lessons.
