Synopsis

Kerya’s first trip to Cambodia, her homeland which she has never visited, will not only put her in the shoes of a duck herder but turn out to be an opportunity for a journey of self-discovery.
 

Kerya is a renowned DJ in Paris.
Originally from Cambodia, she knows little about her homeland. But everything changes when her father passes away.
Kerya then travels to Cambodia for the first time to scatter his ashes. Through a twist of fate, she becomes the caretaker of the three hundred ducks that her uncle, a duck herder, raises.
Accompanied by her 11-year-old cousin Samnang and the flock of ducks, she must traverse Cambodia, a country she doesn’t know but which has much to teach her about her family history. This journey promises to be one of self-discovery.

Julia Schulte (SVP International Sales at France tv distribution):

"We have been very moved by this heart-warming and uplifting story, crossing the frontiers from Europe to Cambodia, with our main hero Kerya who’s journey brings her from grief to the discovery of her Asian heritage, and the country’s culture. The film is emotionally and visually outstanding, as Kerya travels through the beautiful Cambodian landscapes, followed by three hundred ducks she has to keep care of."
