As time passes, the family endures tragedy, including the loss of one of their own. With conditions deteriorating further and their mother advocating for the children’s survival, a heart-wrenching decision leads them to separate. Each child takes a picture of their family as they leave, exhibiting courage despite their dire fate.
The sisters’ precarious journey leads them to a new camp, supposedly better, but filled with deceit as they become pawns in the Khmer propaganda machine. Loong, resourceful and resilient, trains in military tactics but struggles with the cruel irony of her situation—being molded into a soldier in the very regime that ripped her family apart.
