Bae Ponggi, a Korean woman who became a comfort woman for the former Japanese military in 1944, testifies for the first time in Okinawa in 1975, after Okinawa was returned to the mainland. In the "red-tiled house" on Tokashiki Island, Okinawa, which was turned into a comfort station, she talks about her life and relationships, her situation after being left behind on the Korean Peninsula and unable to return to it after the war, and what happened afterwards.
