Aloha is a way of life for Native Hawaiians, who are taught from a young age to treat people with kindness and compassion. The film follows two Native Hawaiians living in the Pacific Northwest as they reflect on how Aloha sustains them amidst distance, loss, and longing. Meanwhile, back in Hawaiʻi, locals grapple with the history of colonization that has Hawaiians disappearing from their homeland. It asks the question, how do Native Hawaiians in the diaspora keep the feeling of Aloha in their hearts, even when they live thousands of miles away?
