Description

Pachinko is a powerful story about resilience and compassion, spanning four generations and exploring the search for identity and success.

In 1911, a young couple marries in a small fishing village on the banks of the East Sea, setting in motion a chain of events that will shape the lives of their descendants for decades to come. When their daughter Sunja falls pregnant by a married yakuza, her family faces ruin, but a chance at salvation is offered by a Christian minister who proposes a new life in Japan.

Through eight decades and four generations, Pachinko is an epic tale of family, love, death and survival, as Sunja navigates a hostile country where she has no friends, no home, and whose language she cannot speak.
