When Leng Heng dreams, vivid imagery emerges from his former lives, which all lead to the same mysterious treasure: a solitary gold figurine. When he wakes, Leng Heng fervently sketches scenes from these windows into the past, tracing clues to where the coveted artifact might be hidden. As government officials work to force his impoverished community out of Phnom Penh to make room for a high-tech bullet train in the name of progress, Leng Heng and his friends dream of what this treasure would mean for their families. With the help of Srey Leak, a master of picking locks and haggling for hard drives, the friends set out on an expedition to find the treasure, leaning on Cambodia’s burgeoning augmented reality scene to tap into a deeper level of consciousness. Bridging the ancient beliefs in karma and reincarnation with the futuristic possibilities of artificial intelligence, the sci-fi drama KARMALINK delves into the mind-bending capabilities of technology and the life-altering implications it poses when left in the wrong hands. —A.B.
