BONNE NUIT PAPA (2014, 101 min) is a film about conciliation, connection, and farewell. It documents Marina Kem‘s search for her father’s story. A father who was strange to her in two regards; strange because of his Cambodian origins, strange because of his silence. Dr. Ottara Kem never spoke of his Cambodian background. But on his deathbed, he expressed his desire to be buried in his homeland Cambodia. For his daughter Marina Kem, it is the beginning of an intense, poetic, and conciliate journey. Tracing the footsteps of his life, she immerses herself deeper and deeper into the history of Cambodia’s ideological wars and at the end, she finds a new family and reconciles herself with her roots.
