Khong and Thin grew up together in rural Laos and are best friends who share everything. Yet Khong, who was brought up by his single father, always felt that his best friend has it all, including a loving family and the affection of a young woman whom Khong secretly admires. More than twenty years later, Pong, a teenage girl living with her strict father, discovers the truth about her real identity, which can be traced back to the complicated relationship between Khong and Thin. Writer-director Soulasath Saul, who also plays one of the main characters, handles a complex cross-generational narrative with great fineness and assurance, while portraying the rapidly changing Laos.
