Pol Pot Dancing plot

A star dancer in the Cambodian royal court lovingly raises her husband's brother as her own. Decades later, as a forced laborer under the oppressive Khmer Rouge regime, she discovers that her foster son is none other than Pol Pot. The regime's mass purges (from 1975 to 1979 - Pol Pot exterminated 25% of Cambodia's population) are intertwined with painful memories of the bloodthirsty dictator's relatives, who today perform a stunning dance performance depicting a meeting between the Khmer Rouge leader and his foster mother.
