FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY

Directed by POLEN LY

Neang, a young indigenous Bunong woman, and Phal, her older brother, spend one last day in their rural village, before an impending move to the capital city in search of a more prosperous life. While Phal is excited for the move, Neang senses a quiet desire to return to their long-gone village that was lost to the development of a nearby hydroelectric dam a few years earlier.
