This documentary film captures the life of Duc Nguyen, who was born as part of conjoined twins due to the effects of defoliants used in the Vietnam War, and now lives as an ambassador of peace.
It has been 35 years since the separation surgery from his brother, Beto. Currently, Duc is a husband, father, and the sole breadwinner for his family, but is in and out of hospital, while caring for his wife Thuyen, twin children Fuji and Sakura, and a mother-in-law who is battling an illness at home. The camera follows Duc's life and family ties.
