中日混血棄子Tsubame,飄洋過海來到這個母親說很美的地方,尋回自我認同的起點,體悟到失去的反而是收穫。Tsubame五歲起和母親分隔兩地,直到成年後仍無法釋懷為何別離,即使是溫柔的繼母也不甚了解他的心思。在父親的懇求下,他前往母親的故鄉台灣和失聯23年的哥哥見面。在和哥哥的孩子相處過程中,他幾次回憶起童年時與母親相處的片刻,漸漸理解自己其實從未被拋下⋯⋯今村圭佑長期以攝影指導身份,與導演藤井道人合作,本片為其首部執導劇情長片,在高雄市取景,將南台灣的烈陽與港都的粼光融成一幅幅濃烈的光景,以為早已逝去的母愛,遂隨倦燕歸巢盈滿眼眶。導演藉由無所不在的新住民母語議題,拆解族裔的區隔;常民生活的街頭巷尾、嘈雜的市集和靜默的墓地,似是異鄉的故鄉,最是魔幻寫實的成長敘事。
