After having fled Pol Pot, Rithy Panh, a 15-year old Cambodian, finds refuge at the Mairut refugee camp in Thailand in 1979. Ten years later and now a filmmaker, he returns to the camps to film the day-to-day lives of his compatriots. He finds a people eaten away by inactivity, insecurity and the fear of being forgotten, waiting now for years on end for the possibility to return to Cambodia.
