Lindy believes she is a Vietnamese orphan, adopted by Marj and Geoff Baker when she was three years old. She lives happily with her adoptive family, only occasionally wondering about her past. This changes, however, when she receives a letter from her real father, Le. Having searched for many years, he is overjoyed to find her and tells her that he is coming to Australia to see her. The narrative explores the family's emotional turmoil as they wait for his arrival and their defensive attitude when he arrives. For Lindy, the meeting opens up a past she has never known as she is introduced to her Vietnamese family and culture. Le eventually tells Lindy that he wants her to return with him and she is subsequently torn between the two possible futures she is being given--one in Australia or one in Vietnam--and the two families she must choose between. She chooses to stay in Australia, but she makes it clear that she intends to visit and stay with her Vietnamese family when she is older. Although he is disappointed, Le has given Lindy a gift she never expected--a sense of identity she did not have before--and she tells him this in her letter to him. (Source: Australian Screen.)
