Byeong-man, a farmer whose father was enslaved during Japan's occupation of Korea, protests the Japanese government's claim over the disputed island territory of Dokdo. Kyeong Sook, a woman who lived on Dokdo with her father, struggles to keep his legacy alive after the Korean government mysteriously erased their history.

Set in the unresolved trauma of the Japanese occupation of Korea, Land of My Father is a story about two lives that are intertwined with a remote disputed island.
