資深柬埔寨導演潘禮德，一生的作品都是為了令世人關注70年代的赤柬大屠殺。另一邊廂，同樣是在法國接受教育的年輕導演周戴維，則深入探討被遺忘的歷史，提醒世人，一代人的未來是如何被赤柬暴政毀滅。巴黎出生的他，發現自己的袓父曾是柬埔寨舉足輕重的電影監製。於是他遠赴家族的祖國，試圖重整柬埔寨電影在60年代的光輝歷史。他訪問當年活躍的導演，又見過僥倖逃出赤柬魔掌的女星。老街坊回想昔日燈火鼎盛的大戲院，已經人面全非。周戴維走遍金邊，嘗試重拾舊日的足跡。

The grandson of veteran Cambodian film producer Van Chann, the Paris-born Davy Chou returns to his ancestral land to reassemble the "golden age" of Cambodian cinema in the 1960s through meetings with its main protagonists. There are priceless testimonies from directors Ly Bun Yim and Yvon Hem, for example, and also recollections from film star Dy Saveth, who escaped from the Khmer Rouge's clutches because she happened to be out of the country when the guerrillas marched into Phnom Penh. Pensionaged film buffs also recall the good old days of watching local movies in now-vanished bustling theatres, as Chou wanders around Phnom Penh trying to look for these vanished traces of a long-gone era.
