This international co-production tenderly portrays a mother’s struggle to be reunited with her four-year-old son after they are forcibly separated by the Khmer Rouge.
With subtle, understated animation, this debut feature from Denis Do strikes at the heart of the terror for Cambodians living under the regime. Written by Do with Magali Pouzol and Elise Trinh, the film draws inspiration from the memories of Do’s mother.
‘…a stunning piece of animation in which the beauty of the visuals and the horror of the situation are inextricably intertwined’ – Los Angeles Times
