- Aya is a former slave. At the age of 16, the young Cambodian peasant was sold to work as a maid in Malaysia. There, she was exploited during two years without receiving any salary. She was beaten and abused. Then she returned to her village - just as poor as before leaving - and brought back a child of rape. Dishonored and traumatized, what is left of her humanity? The film traces modern-day slavery in Cambodia by uncovering the fate of this young woman and following, in parallel, the daily lives of two human traffickers, a local recruiter and the head of an agency. Cambodian people call these traffickers Mey Kechol: The Storm Makers.

- Large and ancient canopies are leveled in the heart of Cambodia, along with the livelihoods of indigenous peoples. A young, educated protagonist returns to her ancestral Bunong village to document the devastation, revealing loss and resistance. Cambodia has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world, with a removal of 2.85 million hectares of forest over the last two decades due to large-scale agro-industrial expansions. Multinationals remain anonymous in this film, reflecting the daily reality of the industrys lack of transparency. Through collected testimonies, the film delves into the traditional farming, harvesting and spiritual rituals of the Bunong in the forests of Cambodia that manifest as acts of resistance to this insatiable force. An observational style documentary, the film gives voice to a minority community and their generational struggle to preserve culture, language and an indigenous way of life.
