Diamond Island

2016 | B/N | 101:00

18-year-old Bora leaves his village to work on the construction sites of Diamond Island, an ultra-modern development for the rich and a symbol of the Cambodia of the future. He befriends his fellow workers and finds his elder brother, the charismatic Solei, who went missing five years earlier. Solei introduces him to an exciting world —one of the rich, urban youth and their girls, nights and illusions.
