Le cinéma cambodgien, né en 1960, a vu son irrésistible ascension stoppée brutalement en 1975 par l'arrivée au pouvoir des Khmers Rouges. La plupart des films ont disparu, les acteurs été tués et les salles de cinéma été transformées en restaurants ou karaokés. Le sommeil d'or filme la parole de quelques survivants et tente de réveiller l'esprit de ce cinéma oublié.
