Tonlé Sap is an ever-changing ecosystem that leads a double life. The lake empties and fills up again according to a seasonal cycle that it imposes on all lakeside life... including humans!
In May, several months after the second reversal of the water flow, Tonlé Sap has reached its lowest level. For the inhabitants of Tonlé Sap, a new life now begins. Yesterday's fishermen have put away their boats and turned into farmers for a season. But some keep fishing in the muddy waters, like Ku Yann. Equipped with just a simple creel and his lifelong skills, he succeeds in capturing several walking fish.
