Synopsis

Loung Ung avait cinq ans lorsque le régime de Pol Pot a pris le pouvoir au Cambodge. Son père était un riche employé du gouvernement, c'est-à-dire une cible privilégiée pour les Khmer rouges. Loung, ses parents et plusieurs frères et sœurs ont dû quitter leur maison de Phnom Penh, vidée de ses habitants en avril 1975, se mettant en route du jour au lendemain sans destination. Ils ont été contraints de laisser tous leurs biens derrière eux, prétendant être une famille de paysans afin d'éviter la capture, et furent finalement envoyés dans un camp de travail.

The film opens during the production of War and Peace at Mosfilm Studios in 1964. An elderly Russian noblewoman is set to appear as a film extra until her past comes to light. Although the film's political commissar demands her dismissal since she is a "wife of an enemy of the revolution", director Sergei Bondarchuk is adamant that he needs faces like hers for the production. As the commissar realises the difficulty of identifying her using the file he has, he immediately recognises the elderly woman behind him as the woman he is searching for, while the elderly woman is looking at her own 1910s photo.
