Past lives and future dreams collide in this fresh, highly entertaining sci-fi mystery that mixes Buddhism and AI to spectacular effect. Trying to sort out his past lives, 13-year-old Leng enlists his friend to help him track down a stolen golden Buddha that appears in his dreams. With the kid’s friendship at its emotional heart their grand adventure makes great use of Phnom Penh’s locations while moving smoothly back & forth in time. A fascinating, beautifully made, intriguing trip to where science crosses over into metaphysics.
