Born Sweet

Directed by

Fifteen-year-old Vinh Voeurn dreams of falling in love with a girl with long, smooth hair and of becoming a karaoke star surrounded by adoring fans. But he lives in a remote Cambodian village, tends cows and lives with chronic arsenic poisoning from the polluted river water; probably he will share the same fate as the girl who used to live across the street. But he may also have a chance to see his dream come true by singing some songs in a documentary on the effects of arsenic.
