Subtitle: "A story of Adoption, Identity, and the Meaning of Family". In 1998, twin girls were born in Vietnam. Their mother knew she could not raise them herself. One, named Ha, was sent to live with an aunt in a village with little electricity but a close family. The other, Isabella, was adopted by a familly and very comfortably raised in the Chicago area. Years later, the adoptive mother learns that Isabella has a twin sister and goes to great lengths to reunite these two. She even offers Ha a chance at the same comfortable life her sister has always known. Is that a good offer? What makes a good life? How much of our identity is tied up in where we were born and how much in how we were raised? Who is family? All questions explored in this true story.
