本片以劇情紀錄片形式呈現馬來西亞金僑在異鄉困境中求生存的堅毅精神，並以<變奏的旅律>、<家書的唸讀>、<歌謠的抒發>三種聲音的設計，分別貫串金門人到異鄉打拼的三階段演變：離鄉、思鄉、返鄉。並以「歌謠」表現外放的感情，用「戲劇」呈現內在深沉的心靈。
The entire film will take the historical record as its primary foundation, elaborating and validating historical truth through the perspective of individual characters to create a moving documentary testament to the unique history of Kinmen and its people!
