Sokha, a 36-year-old "Khmerican" returnee, embodies the narrative arc of the film. Through him, we explore some pieces of his shattered personal history and dive into the meanders of his exile.
Sokha is a Khmer-American. The son of Cambodian refugees, he grew up in the United States. He was deported back to Cambodia seven years ago, where he still feels like a foreigner. Sokha hangs out with a group of "Khmericans" like himself and has married a Cambodian, recently the mother of their new baby. Between the ruins of his past in America and the shaky foundations of his future in Cambodia, he oscillates between two worlds apparently irreconcilable.
