Whisperings of the Moon, the debut feature from late filmmaker Yuqing Lai, is a tender, time-shifting portrait of love, memory, and loss from a singular artistic voice whose vision knew no bounds.
Following her father’s death, theatre actor Nisay (Sopheanith Thong)returns from New York to Phnom Penh, where she is unexpectedly reunited with Thida (Deka Nine), her former lover. As past and present intertwine, the film traces the quiet intensity of their secret relationship and the forces that drove them apart. Now, under the weight of family and societal expectations, can their passion endure beyond memory and performance—or is it destined to fade once more?
