It's April 1975. As the Khmer Rouge takes control of Cambodia, a small orphaned girl, Li-Da Men, is flown out of the country. Eventually, she ends up as the adopted daughter of an affluent British couple and has a privileged upbringing whilst the country of her birth is returned to Year Zero. Now, twenty six years later, Li-Da returns to Cambodia in search of the truth: the truth about her past, the truth about her country's past and the truth about what is going on in that country today. It is a journey which forces Li-Da to re-examine not just her past and her opinions, but also challenges the way in which the West regards Cambodia. Many people come forward believing they may be related to Li-Da, often travelling long distances at their own expense: none searching for a rich Western relative, all searching for personal peace, having lost children and sisters during Cambodia's bloody war and its aftermath. This powerful film is the story of that search.

In Thailand, the Buddhist New Year begins with SONGRAN on April, 13th. It involves most of all plenty of water. Originally SONGRAN offered the opportunity to pay repect to eachother, by using a few drops of water for blessing the elderly people and the monks. Nowadays the SONGRAN Festival, especially in Pattaya, has lost some of its religious significance and has become a more profane, but nevertheless colourful, passionate and often amusing waterbattle, celebrated in every corner of the city. You may love it or hate it, SONGRAN shows you a part of Thai culture and soul, that many foreigners seem to enjoy the most. Let it flow...
