Jeronimo

Born to Korean immigrant parents who had been freed from indentured servitude in the early twentieth century in Mexico, Jerónimo Lim Kim joins the Cuban Revolution alongside his law school classmate Fidel Castro and becomes an accomplished government official within the Castro regime. He later rediscovers his ethnic roots and dedicates his later life to reconstructing his Korean-Cuban identity. After Jerónimo's death, younger Korean Cubans recognize his enduring legacy, but it is not until they are given the opportunity to visit South Korea that questions about their mixed identity resurface.
