Benvenuti in paradiso (1990)
Nel 1936 l'irlandese Jack McGurn, giunto a Los Angeles per sfuggire al suo passato di militante attivo in un sindacato di New York, trova lavoro in un cinema della 'Little Tokio', la colonia degli oriundi giapponesi, di proprietà di Hiroshi Kawamura, un immigrato che ha educato i suoi figli Charlie, Lily, Harry, Dulcie, Yoyce e Frankie ad amare la loro patria americana dove sono nati. Dopo un contrastato matrimonio con Lily, allietato dalla nascita della graziosa Mini, nel 1941 Jack è costretto ad arruolarsi mentre la famiglia Kawamura, unitamente ad altre migliaia di cittadini statunitensi di origine giapponese, viene forzatamente trasferita in un campo di internamento nel deserto.
