A Cambodian woman, suffering from psychosomatic blindness, a condition afflicting a segment of middle-aged Cambodian women refugees in California who witnessed atrocities of the Khmer Rouge, reunites with her surviving relatives in the U.S. With her American doctor she begins the painful journey towards healing and finds a surprising role in her new home.

This production is based on actual oral histories that Catherine Filloux compiled over five years of working with Cambodian refugee women at St. Rita's Refugee Center in Bronx, New York.
