In Khmer, to have “the soul at the edge of the hair” means “to be scared to death”. For the first time, Séra, a Franco-Cambodian author, delivers an autobiographical and documented account of the fall of Phnom Penh and the rise of the terrifying Khmer Rouge regime.
For more than 30 years, the designer Will be tells and questions the history of Cambodia. A country which saw him born, and which experienced one of the most terrifying events, also the most deadly of the 20th century: the dictatorship and the genocide of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
