About This Program ✦
The programme is a single‑episode television drama. It is presented as a self‑contained story rather than a multi‑part series, and its format is that of a typical episode within the genre. The central thread follows a woman who grew up under the care of white adoptive parents. Feeling the need to understand her origins, she sets out to track down the family she was born into. Her determination drives the narrative, as she pursues any lead that might point to her biological relatives. Her investigation quickly expands beyond her immediate surroundings, taking her across several continents. Each new location provides fresh clues and pushes the search further afield, turning what begins as a personal quest into a globe‑spanning pursuit. At the same time, another storyline runs in parallel, focusing on a different woman who is intent on honouring her mother’s final wish. While her aim is distinct from the first woman's search, both characters are united by a sense of duty to family and the urgency that comes with a loved one’s last request. The episode weaves these two arcs together, showing how each protagonist navigates their respective journeys while confronting the challenges that arise along the way.
