Formerly an “apsara”, a dancer sacred to the Royal Palace of Cambodia, young Kânya finds refuge with her friend in an isolated sanctuary in the middle of the jungle. Sheltered from the murderous madness of the Khmer Rouge, they both pursue their art, she her worship of the gods, whom she honors with her dances, he his passion for plants, whose rare essences he seeks out.

A colorful album that takes us on a journey to the heart of a rich civilization with past splendors, and tackles the sensitive subject of a genocide that destroyed an entire country.
