Episode 11: On Wings of Butterflies (part 1)

A child born during World War II yearns for her Japanese father, a member of the Occupation Forces who was repatriated back to his home country. Innocently, the young girl sends a butterfly to find him, but little does she know that the butterfly's journey would take a long 32 years.

In the post-war years, Monica Choon was about six years old when she learnt about her Japanese father from her aunt and grandmother. Mr. Murai failed to return from work one day after the war ended and was never heard from again. It was only when Monica was 13 that she plucked up the courage to ask her mother directly about her father. Mdm. Tham's final wish before her demise in 1981 was for Monica to be reunited with her father.
