'Myitkyina' is a story of 20 comfort women in Myitkyina, Burma.
They appear at multiple photos and documents, but no witness was revealed.
'Myitkyina' in this work is a representation of single women, but at the same time it is a representation of prior discussions and results of research related to the Japanese Military "Comfort Women".Testimonies of three Myitkyinas in the video sometimes permeate or penetrate existing controversial arguments and subtly contradict each other at times.
Therefore no word from one of three Myitkyinas can become an ideal representation of the Japanese Military "Comfort Women".
Myitkyina' is not an "object" which can be captured or reproduced from a single point of view.
It´s a "living Being" who have existed in various forms at a variety of moments.
