RICE CYCLE, HUMAN CYCLE

Documentary (in production)

---

The life of Lok Ta, a 83 years old farmer and traditionnal healer, who lives in a timeless village in Siem Reap province (Cambodia) where the pre-angkorian rituals are still practiced. These rituals mark each stage of human life and are in line with the different stages of rice life, from birth to death. Lok Ta lived through the French protectorate, the Independence, the Republic, the Khmer Rouge and the civil war, as well as the modernity of today that seems so distant to his village, and became the protector of this so fragile culture.
