Graves without a Name

Les Tombeaux sans noms

21st TDF: Greek Premiere

Cambodia, 40 years after the horror of the Pol Pot era. Α 13-year-old boy, who lost most of his family members in the atrocious genocide carried out by the Khmer Rouge, embarks on a search for their graves. In the course of his exploration, the director encounters tearful voices, other times witnesses reluctant to speak, and a tortured land crushed by a merciless and inexplicable crime. A personal and spiritual journey of remembrance of those who were lost. A documentary full of poetry that sinks its hands into the earth, giving these souls a place of eternal rest.
