A little known story, but one worth telling is the story of the hopes and dreams of younger generations in a fast-developing world. Development has been repeated many times, but not enough to depict the stories of the faces and voices impacted by it. Once called the ’Pearl of Asia,’ Phnom Penh became one of Asia’s poorest cities after decades of genocide and war. However, the city today is under speedy development, driven by international capital building skyscrapers on deserted land. To look for new jobs and opportunities, many youths from rural areas come to this capital city, bringing a lively charm along with them. Coming from the second generation of the Cambodian diaspora, young director Davy Chou was born and grew up in France. Although the cold, urban capital doesn’t effortlessly bring the future to this land of rich history, the director captures the carefree nature and chaos of his estranged motherland from a warm perspective. Heaven might be far away, but happiness has been always with us. (PARK Sungho)
