A Caucasian woman appears on the screening and narrates her personal stories and her identity as a person who was born in Korea but now lives in Canada. She narrates sentences that are short but revealing. Her personal stories raise a question of a conflict between her racial appearance and her declared ethnic identity. Not knowing the narrator’s true identity, the stories that she tells remain fictitious.
