Samnang faces the demolition of his lifelong home in Phnom Penh, a landmark tenement of the city, named White Building, coupled with pressures from family, friends, and neighbors, which all arise and intersect at this moment of sudden change. A deeply personal, shape-shifting piece of work, which narrates with a devastatingly photogenic melancholy the troubles of growing up in an accelerated world.
