Part 2/8:
The Lung family, consisting of nine members, revels in the comfort of their affluent lifestyle in Phnom Penh. The father, Paw, who serves as an officer in the National Armed Forces, ensures his family's well-being. However, his role puts them all at great risk as the country's political landscape unwinds. The protagonist, Loong, a spirited young girl, is blissfully unaware of the turmoil about to engulf her world.
As celebrations fill the air, hope prevails—until it does not. The Khmer Rouge seizes the opportunity to establish control, forcing the citizens to abandon their homes. This abrupt shift transforms scenes of jubilation into chaotic exodus, with families frantically packing only the essentials for survival.
