SYNOPSIS
Phnom Penh, today.
Inhaled by the shining lights of the city, Songsa, Thy and Phearum, three young boys, in search of emancipation, see their dreams of an easy life collide in a society that oscillates between archaism and modernity.
A photograph of Cambodian youth – three portraits with queer and naturalist overtones that question the expectations and desires of a generation.
