Yoko & I have been writing to each other for over 20 years. We started as school assigned Pen Pals and have kept in touch through many years of letters and finally emails. Yoko grew up in Japan while I grew up in the US and Sweden. We finally met in the town of Normal, IL in 2001 when she came to live in the US with her family for four years. This documentary follows Yoko's letters to me up to our first meeting.
