She was 18 years lost in the jungles of northeast Cambodia. She has forgotten what hot water is.
She was found and brought to stay in a safe home.
The girl has already tried to flee once, tearing off her clothes to rush back into the jungle.
She is trying to get used to life among the family that has claimed her as their long-lost daughter and spends her days and nights watching the films or sitting glassy-eyed while curious locals come to stare at her.
They attribute the girl’s loss of speech and traumatized behavior to 18 years as the companion of a jungle spirit who has now abandoned her.
She was naked and walking in a bending-forward position like a monkey, exactly like a monkey.
What is life?
Which life is better?
The jungle or the city?
