Rose, a Khmer girl new to India, finds herself in a whirlwind of sensual experiences. From the spices that tickle her nose to the fabrics that caress her skin, every sense is awakened. She explores ancient temples, their cool stone a stark contrast to the heat of the day, her fingers tracing the intricate carvings, her imagination filling in the erotic tales they tell. Back in her room, she gives in to the urge, her fingers dancing over her body, her breath coming in short gasps as she imagines the ancient rituals of pleasure that once took place here.
