A young man of French, Chinese, and Cambodian descent dies, leaving behind his isolated mother and his 4-year male lover, who grieve but don't speak a lick of each other's language.

In contemporary London, a Cambodian-Chinese mother mourns the untimely death of her son. Her world is further disrupted by the presence of a stranger. We observe their difficulties in trying to connect with each other without a common language as, through a translator, they begin to piece together memories of a man they both loved.—Anonymous

In a country institution near London lives a Cambodian-Chinese mother who has just suffered the loss of the last of her family, her only child. Two people are bought together even though language and emotional barriers stand between them. Trying to work through the emotions of losing a son, the departed son's lover begins a process to mend the two lives, as well as cultures, while he also goes through the loss of someone they both love.—Andy Homorodean
