An old man recalls his experiences in Cambodia when the Khmer Rouge seized power in the 1970s. As members of the Chinese minority, he and his family were persecuted by the regime and he had to seek refuge. His recollection of these times is very precise. The public images of the events have been distorted by propaganda and counter-propaganda, though. The film inserts 3D-Animations into archive film material. Through this, a visual reality aligned along the ruptures of the narration is created. The personal perspective is thus set in relation to the collective perception.
