Kiésor has a supernatural gift linked to the spirit world, the forest, the river… Every night, she is called to heal nature. Her sister watches in silence as Kiésor disappears. This film is inspired by a collection of stories heard in Cambodia. In the forests and rivers, spirits still live despite human activities. Their voices are muffled, but the legends persist. What if humans forgot themselves to blend into nature? The directors made this short film over the course of 3 weeks. The mix of techniques expresses the blend between dream and reality, as well as the different artistic touches of Lucie and Camille.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES AND FEARS AS A YOUNG PERSON IN A TIME OF ECOLOGICAL CRISIS?
Nature is forgotten, but in the countryside of Cambodia, the belief in spirits still gives it a voice. This voice is still too weak to be heard and integrated into our lives. It’s hard to break out of our habits and respect the things around us without damaging them. This short film shows a human’s sacrifice to blend into nature.
