In Angkor Wat, we follow a boy and his relationships with the people who live there, the ruins, and the tourists.

The lingering pain left by years of civil war, the gap between conditions in the cities and the countryside, and the thoughts of the boy who has lost sight of the future are conveyed at a leisurely rhythm with beautiful imagery that gently evokes emotion in the viewer.
