SYNOPSIS: May 4, 1970 - During the Vietnam War, a combined US & Army of South Vietnam military operation enters Cambodia to locate and destroy North Vietnamese and Viet Cong sanctuaries. A Cambodian youth named Samnang (‘Lucky’) and an ornery but likable wedding musician make their way through the conflict. They encounter landmines, surreal Cambodian ghosts known as 'Arbs', and marauding helicopters as they go.
"Of remarkable interest considering the innovative style revealed, the original way of composing contents and your attention on social issues." - Direzione Overlook 2014-5th CinemAvvenire Festival
"A strong, interesting story with good characters and excellent acting, and the supernatural element was bizarre but just right for the story" - Highway 61 Film Festival
It’s fascinating to see the surreal elements emerge from what’s otherwise a tense, dramatic, and cautiously paced film. The performances are good, and there’s an easy chemistry between the boy and his “uncle.” - Cleveland International Film Festival
