Synopsis: A true story about two girls struggling hard for their love. This documentary won the first price at Meta House Phnom Penh for the Gay Pride Festival in May, 2012.
They met during the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, when coincidence led them to live in the same mobile unit. After a year Soth Yun (57) and Sem Eang (58) realized that they loved each other.
Two million people died during the Khmer Rouge years. Yun and Eang survived.
Today the lesbian couple live in a village in Takeo province in southern Cambodia like husband and wife. It has been a long fight to be respected by fellow villagers and their families. And the fight continues – now for their rights to marry.
The couple does not have children of their own, but have raised several nieces and nephew.
