gems on the run

As children, Rith, Dara, and Sovann promised to remain friends for life. But inevitably, fate separated them. Fifteen years later, Dara died. Rith, now a police officer and a master of delusion, managed to track down Sovann, who had transformed into a petty criminal wanted by both the police and his own gang, from whom he had stolen three diamonds. The two friends went to Dara's funeral, but Sovann's plan to flee the country with the diamonds fell apart, and the truth soon came to light.

Quentin Clausin's films share a single thread: the invisible line between comfort and freedom, security and alienation. It is the ground on which all his stories are built. It is also what draws him — as a filmmaker who lives and works nomadically — to other cultures: not out of exoticism, but because each culture draws that line differently. And in that difference, something essential about the human condition becomes visible.
