Virak, a taxi driver and Cambodian refugee in Paris, has a car accident with his passenger, a British tourist. While she is slowly dying, he confesses to her his torments: editor of a political newspaper in the 60-70’s, he is convinced that he played a role in the fall of the Republican government that led to the arrival of the Khmer Rouges into power.
