Set during the Korean War, Song for Another Home follows a family torn apart by conflict and forced to fight for survival, reunion, and a place to call home.
In 1950, Oksoon, her mother, and her brother are forced to flee Pyongyang as the war intensifies, beginning a dangerous journey south. Meanwhile, Oksoon’s cousin Junho finds refuge in a struggling orphanage, where his growing feelings for the director’s aristocratic niece threaten the fragile safety he has found.
