Trei and his wife Siley live with his parents and five children. The entire family depends on subsistence rice farming for livelihood. Hoping to afford to buy rice, they plant Dum Long (cassava). Due to unusually hot weather, however, Dum Long rots rapidly and the price went down. ‟Why the hard working is no guarantee of self-subsistence? ‟ The Treis haven’t found any answers on that question. Outsiders keep hijacking Bunong land of Mondulkiri and the indigenous people are losing their homes. Nevertheless, Siley doesn’t give up growing rice and starts again planting rice in the fields.
