Last Hope

Mlek Phon, a 22-year-old woman of Pnong ethnic origin, lives in Puja village, Mondulkiri province. Her father is a farmer while her mother is a housewife and a winemaker. She is the eldest of four children. Since her parents are getting weaker and older, Pun quit school to help them. She works hard in the fields and brings her siblings to school. The eldest brother decided to follow her and quit school to support the family. At the same time, Phon is very worried about her second brother because instead of listening to her and doing homework, he prefers hanging out with friends and playing games. She puts all her hope in her youngest sister who should graduate and become a doctor or a police officer.
