The film Between Goodbyes adds a fresh perspective to the typical adoption story by equally focusing on the original mother and adoptee. After 10 years of searching, Okgyun finds her daughter Mieke, a Korean adoptee raised in the Netherlands, and their reunion marks the beginning of their story, not the end. The film explores their complex reunion over a long-term perspective, using non-linear storytelling to intertwine Mieke's 2021 visit with her mother in Seoul and flashbacks of each woman's past.
