New England Premiere!

When Massachusetts-bred filmmaker Nick Capezzera discovers a single address buried in his adoption records, a years-long pursuit for answers becomes an international investigation stretching from New England to Seoul. At the same time, his older sister Anna—also adopted from Korea but from a different family—sets out to learn her medical history and finds her birth mother and three sisters in the process. Their parallel searches reveal the vastly different outcomes adoptees can encounter in the quest for identity and belonging. As Anna prepares for a reunion in Seoul, Nick returns to the last-known address of his biological parents, as translators, journalists, and community advocates help him piece together the events surrounding his birth. Along the way, both siblings arrive at a deeper understanding of the forces that bind a family together. Moving, heartfelt, and delicately crafted, THE OTHER SIDE OF MEMORY is a moving, personal story that contemplates what it means to truly belong.
