Incredible cinematic timepiece that retells the importance of holding onto 'the soul of a nation' in the face of complete eradication. This film was meticulously directed with a aura of somber while the powerful cinematography expertly showcases the story of the young woman's quest to reconnect with her own somber but powerful past. The interwoven drama and history of Cambodia is defined by the art and music of the Khmer, much of which would have been forever destroyed and lost if it wasn't for the those who held onto their last breath to preserve it... to preserve it with their lives until their demise... authentical, educational, and something to be cherished because it is a largely unrecognized and forgotten human story that cannot be repeated ever again in all of humanity.
