Adopted as a baby in Korea and raised in a provincial German town, Michael has two identities. His friends accept him as one of them, but the mirror reminds Michael everyday of the hole in his biography which nags at him like an open wound. Who am I? Where are my roots? are the questions he asks himself. When his adoptive parents divorce, Michael suddenly feels lost, and runs to his best friend in Berlin. There his confrontation with the beautiful Jin Hi forces him to make a decision, for even in Berlin’s Korean community he is “neither fish, nor fowl”. As a German with no knowledge of the Korean language and tradition, he seems damned to live in the gap between two cultures. Michael’s journey as stranger in his own land makes him come to the realization that “home” can have many faces.
