Description

In early 1970, a small plane mysteriously disappears over the Cambodian jungle. Piloted by an American hippie, the passengers are a US businessman, his wife, their young English guide and a Frenchman. Stranded helplessly in the jungle, the westerners are found by local peasants, and taken to safety. Here, cut off from the outside world, they find an enchanting world, full of laughter and festivals; a gentle, sensitive people without greed or violence. As the party adjust to the culture, life presents excitement, pleasure - even love. But a darker, brutal presence threatens to destroy their paradise...
