The focus this time is not Vietnam but Cambodia, and the infamous era of the Khmer Rouge, which ripped the country apart in the 1970s and resulted in the deaths of millions. The film starts intriguingly, as its protagonist confesses that he owes his life to a man who killed hundreds of others. What follows is the true story of Francois Bizot, a French archeologist and Buddhism expert restoring gems from the Angkor Wat temple complex. With the Vietnam War raging across the border, Bizot (Raphaël Personnaz) suddenly finds himself fighting for his life when the Khmer Rouge rise up against the US-controlled Cambodian government. Arrested for espionage, the Frenchman is cast into a vortex of forced confessions, torture, and interrogations, all the while trying to protect his Cambodian wife and daughter. Bizot's fate lies in the hands of a single-minded young zealot utterly committed to the Khmer Rouge cause. Duch (Phoeung Kompheak) rides roughshod over all obstacles, determined to root out all enemies of the Party. In his eyes, every foreigner is a potential spy.The Gate (2014) ( Le temps des aveux )
