Newport Beach Film Festival 2008

In 1992, San Diego, a family that survived the Cambodian Khmer Rouge has rebuilt their lives over the past 15 years by operating a donut shop and establishing themselves in the community. The son, Sann, is still tormented each day by the cruel memories of the killing fields of Cambodia. To cope with his anger and confusion, Sann paints elaborate and violent graffiti murals on a city underpass. When his mother reaches out to a young illegal immigrant from Central America, both Sann's anger and fears rise to the surface, and he must confront them head-on without destroying his own family. He learns that true forgiveness and healing must first begin from within.
