Synopsis
No word will ever tell the nightmare endured by the Cambodians because of the Khmers Rouges. It is about time for Sun Peau, my mother, to understand what really happened. And to go back to the places of her youth... She tells us a life full of emotions, of sadness and tenderness, without any hatred or avenging spirit. This is the very personal story of a remarkable woman. We discover beside her an injured and traumatized country, that stayed too long in silence and fear. She confronts her past and finds her house, describes her pain, shares her last prayer with us. It is the story of a woman shaped by two cultures and two stories, looking for unity and freedom.
