The Epiphany procession is the most important event in a small alpine village. Tradition requires that a donkey accompanies the three kings during the procession. Leopoldo is the only donkey in the village, but his owner, a good giant who lives with his old mother, is reluctant to give his donkey. A few days before the feast, the donkey disappears. There are those who look for him, those who intone chants and others who pray waiting for Leopoldo.

Kim Hak, young and talented Cambodian photographer, looks for a new imaginary of his country far from the iconographic cliché represented by Angkor Wat/Khmer Rouge. Nhem En, old photographer of the Khmer Rouge regime, author of about 14.000 mug shots of prisoners destined to certain death, is planning his entry in the business of dark tourism. What image to choose to represent our history, our country? But, above all, what to do with it?

Two brothers, an exuberant father and an invisible mother. A family of farmers from an Alpine valley where life is rude, as well as manners. The younger son, Gim, is discovering his homosexuality, but the world around him, especially his father, just can't accept that. So the elder son Alex is stuck in the middle, on one hand encouraging Gim to overcome all his fears, on the other trying to continue the tradition of the fathers. In such an exasperated context is hard to recognize the love hidden behind. Will they be able to keep on living together?
