When Sachiko receives her assignment to work for a Japanese Embassy overseas, she's shocked to discover she's mistaken her destination,
Haiti, with Tahiti. With grave poverty, Haiti is far from the tropical paradise she imagined. When she learns that paper, a luxury for
most Haitians, can be made from the nation's abundant supply of banana trees, her purpose suddenly becomes clear.
Japanese with English subtitles, 105 minutes, 2005. Directed by Yoshinari Nishikori.
