As in The Reader, David Cross plays an earnest young man who falls in love with an unlikely woman in unusual circumstances. Here he is Ben, a German man on a post-college/pre-work holiday in Cambodia. He falls in love with Sreykeo, a girl he meets in a bar. They have a brief romance. After returning to Germany he learns that she is HIV positive. Rather than forgetting about her he returns to Cambodia seeking the best medication available. He returns again to work, and continues to giver her and her family money. Despites some bumps in the road, ultimately the two remain together (if it weren’t a true story I wouldn't have entirely believed it; I’m still not sure what the two saw in each other). Some kicking music in the soundtrack and visually pleasant. Official website. (7/10)
