A group of poor Cambodian laborers is recorded digging trenches across their country for a project that suggests a brighter future: Southeast Asia's first fiber-optic cable, which will connect the territory to Europe. But as the job stretches on for months, it becomes clear that the workers cannot escape their country's war-torn, Khmer Rouge past -- as they dig, they uncover human remains and old land mines. It's also doubtful whether they can break free from their exhausting, destitute reality.
