At age 100, the last Irish missionary nun comes back from Japan. One of Ireland's last missionary nuns, Sr. Paschal (Jennie) O' Sullivan, returns to her homeland after 75 years in Japan. Just after her 100th birthday, her young cousin embarks on a year-long voyage retracing her life story in a bid to capture the end of an era in Irish history. What began as a simple interview became a life-changing journey for them both. After 75 years living in Japan, one of Ireland's last missionary nuns, Sister Paschal - born Jennie O' Sullivan - returns to her homeland. What could possibly lead a young woman in 1935 to leave for the other side of the world knowing she would never see her loved ones again, and to dedicate her whole self to a life of obedience and religious indoctrination? In a bid to capture the end of an era, her cousin (TV journalist James Creedon) embarks on a year-long voyage retracing her life story. What originally began as a simple interview gave birth to an unlikely bonding experience between a young man and a witty Catholic sister in the wake of her hundredth birthday. —Elisabeth Feytit
