Joy is about to put her baby up for adoption. At the moment when this decision becomes irreversible, she discovers Approved for Adoption, Jung's autobiographical film, who is a Korean adoptee. Their encounter turns their lives upside down and uncovers the scandalous practice of illegal adoptions in South Korea.

All That Connects Us is a documentary on the theme of transmission. It addresses the universal questions of our roots, our history, that of our family, the bond that unites and sometimes separates. How can we build ourselves and what can we pass on to our children when part of our past is unknown to us? This film is the story of the passing of the baton from a mother with her baggage as a Korean adoptee, to her teenage daughter, at a time when identity construction is at its peak, a pivotal and delicate period of breaking with childhood.
