Documentary on the revival of classical dancing in Cambodia, where nine out of ten classical dancers were killed during the Pol Pot regime in the 1970s. The program focuses on master teacher Em Theay and her star pupil Sok Chea, who recall their ordeals under Pol Pot and talk about their present efforts and their hopes for the future. In addition to views of Em Theay, Sok Chea, and others in classes, rehearsals and performances, the program includes historical background on Cambodian classical dancing and archival footage of dancers of the past.
