It doesn't matter how rough the world is. I have to survive and protect my family. One hundred years of Zainichi history and the relationship between Korea, North Korea & Japan, from the protagonist SHIN Sook-ok, a third-generation Zainichi human rights activist and a woman entrepreneur, to her mother Keiko and grandmother LEE Baek-ran. SHIN, a well-known businesswoman, jumped into human rights projects in 2000 after Tokyo Mayor Ishihara made far-right comments. She led the Norikoe Net Project to victory, which protested against hate speech and won related legislation. Her activities made her a target of the far-right groups in Japan. Due to numerous threats to her family, SHIN Sook-ok had to live in exile in Germany. Now, she returns to Japan and begins a counterattack.
