SYNOPSIS

September 11, 2001

At that time when the whole world was plunged into confusion and despair,

38 planes heading to the United States make an emergency landing in Gander, a small town in Canada.

Passengers are trembling with anxiety, not knowing what is going on, and the plane is filled with rumors of unknown origin.

​

And, the residents of Gander have no time to be confused

They are faced with the situation of having to suddenly welcome as many strangers as their own population.

​

The mayor of a small town, a new reporter who started work today.

A union chairman of local bus drivers who were demonstrating. A company employee heading to a conference.

A Muslim who has to pray twice a day. The head of the Animal Cruelty Prevention Association whose priority is concern for animals.

A mother with a firefighter son. A couple on vacation. The aircraft captain...

​

Will people of different races, hometowns, languages, tastes, and personalities be able to understand each other in the small land of Gander...?

During the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the residents

open their hearts to unfamiliar passengers

and treat them like close friends,

helping them forget their pain and find hope.

The townspeople who give without reservation

The passengers who established a fund in memory of that love

It is even more moving because it is a true story.

Actors playing multiple roles comfort them in their sadness

and hold a joyful festival to give them hope.

It's a performance that's both moving and funny.
