Thy, the young son of a cricket farmer, mourns his mother’s passing and faces the arrival of his father’s new bride and her daughter. The film is a portrait of a day in Thy’s world of silent grief and hopeful dreams painted over a canvas of rural Cambodia.
In a world where the Khmer Rouge achieved its ultimate goal, Man wanders the post-apocalyptic city of Phnom Penh. Through the old world, he rediscovers Man’s first impulses of humanity; at the rebirth of a world that Man has yet to imprint language, art, structure, and culture again.
