Holly

Patrick, an American who has spent years in a numb existence in Cambodia dealing in stolen artefacts, comes across Holly, a twelve year old Vietnamese girl, in the red light district of Phnom Penh. The girl was sold by her impoverished family and smuggled across the border to be brought there. The bond that forms between them moves the man to act, and he begins trying to get the child out of that arrangement, though no institution and no person around him makes it any easier. Guy Moshe’s hundred and fourteen minute film was shot in Cambodia, in the places where the story is set. Ron Livingston plays Patrick and Thuy Nguyen plays Holly, with Virginie Ledoyen, Chris Penn and Udo Kier in the cast. It was completed in 2006.
