Synopsis
Bora, an 18-year-old, leaves his village to work on the construction sites of Diamond Island, a project for an ultra-modern paradise for the rich and a symbol of tomorrow’s Cambodia.

Solei introduces him into an exciting world, that of an urban and wealthy youth, its girls, nights and illusions.
