Marina Kem’s BONNE NUIT PAPA (2015, 100min) is a film about reconciliation, farewell and connection. It documents Marina Kem’s search for her father’s story. A father who was doubly strange to her; strange in his Cambodian origins, strange in his silence.

Dr. Ottara Kem had never spoken about his homeland. But on his deathbed, he wished to be buried in Cambodia. For his daughter, this marks the beginning of an intense, reconciliatory and poetic journey.
Following the traces of his life, she gets deeper and deeper into the history of the ideological wars and in the end finds a new family and reconciliation with her roots.
