Film Synopsis

One day, Camille's path crosses that of a Cambodian man named Sambath.  Twenty years her senior, Sambath used to live in France but now he works as a tourist guide in his home country and lives with a woman, Sonya, who is stricken with a life-threatening illness.  Camille's daily meetings with this engaging middle-aged man soon become something of a ritual, but as the young woman's feelings for her new friend intensify her original plans to devote herself to the service of God come under threat...
