Set in the newly-pacified Phnom Penh, this film is about the return to civilian life of Cambodian soldiers.

A blend of fact and fiction, based on the actual lives of the actors, the film depicts a troupe of actors and dancers struggling to practice their art in the burned-out shell of Cambodia's former national theater, the Preah Suramarit National Theater in Phnom Penh.

A poor, rural Cambodian family slowly disintegrates during the cycle of a single rice crop.
