Mera and Bopha, best friends on a Cambodian fishing island,
are inseparable at 18. Pressured into an arranged marriage
by her aunt, Mera instead falls for a soldier she only knows
online. Drawn to his distant, rocky outpost, Mera convinces
Bopha and their fisherman friend Chivi to accompany her,
but during the trip she mysteriously disappears without a
trace. In the aftermath, Bopha struggles to move on, even as
she pursues new friendships, a new job at a growing beach
resort, and romance with a young man named Chhay. Yet
questions about Mera linger, drawing Bopha into a search
for answers. She journeys back to the rocky island, where
unresolved emotions blur into intimacy with her old friend
Chivi under the night sky. Years later, as Bopha drifts through
changing landscapes, from tourist resorts rising on her home
island to gleaming towers in Singapore, she continues to
carry Mera’s absence with her, searching the sea for answers
and for her own place in a world transformed.
