Sinopse
thoughts take shape in words,, fragments of understanding,, sensing, remembering. In 2005 an Australian film maker travelled through Cambodia gathering video of her encounters with people and places. Across barriers of language, culture and history a snapshot of human connection emerges, hinting at the complex network of relationships that extend beyond the screen. Exploring the multiple ways to say you in Khmer, this poetic meditation uses the shape of an unfamiliar language to contemplate how we come to know each other – through thinking, remembering, understanding and speaking.
