Synopsis: Kim Hak, young and talented Cambodian photographer, looks for a new imaginary of his country far from the iconographic cliché represented by Angkor Wat/Khmer Rouge. Nhem En, old photographer of the Khmer Rouge regime, author of about 14.000 mug shots of prisoners destined to certain death, is planning his entry in the business of dark tourism. What image to choose to represent our history, our country? But, above all, what to do with it?
