Karmalink
[Opens July 15 in theaters and available on VOD.] While a free-spirited, 13-year-old Cambodian boy (Leng Heng Prak), who lives with his mother (Sveng Socheata), grandmother (Oum Savem), and sisters in Phnom Penh, seeks the help of a streetwise, orphaned con artist (Srey Leak Chhith) to find a relic, treasured golden Buddha statue, which was buried by a thief (Rous Mony) many years earlier, he has seen in his vivid dreams or past lives memories by using nanobug technology in Jake Wachtel's intriguing, imaginative, multilayered, beautifully photographed, futuristic, 102-minute, 2021 sci-fi film, his feisty mother stages protests to stop the government's plan of relocating her family so that they can erect a bullet train to Beijing in her district and a dubious neuroscientist (Cindy Sirinya Bishop) doing neuroscience research and working with people suffering memory loss.
