Made by the Cambodian-born Rithy Pahn, who has lived in Paris since he was 15, Land of the Wandering Souls documents the efforts of Cambodian laborers to lay Southeast Asia's first fiber-optic cable across their country. Pithy made his documentary debut with the 1993 Rice People; Land of the Wandering Souls was shown at the 2000 Edinburgh International Film Festival.
Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
