The Future’s Past

Porträt einer jungen Frau mit dunklem Haar, die seitlich in die Ferne schaut, mit einem halbtransparenten Hintergrund aus alten Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien von verschiedenen Personen und dem Titel THE FUTURE'S PAST in großen Buchstaben.

What happens when three youths are confronted with the painful past, which their parents have been trying to hide? The Khmer Rouge Tribunal, a war crimes tribunal in Cambodia, triggers profound changes in the lives of the film's main characters. Shot in Paris and Cambodia, the documentary asks questions about good vs. evil, personal responsibility, guilt, the weakness of human nature… and growing up.
