They are always busy, but tonight is special. They don't have to work this evening. They can relax! There is a small cinema in Kampot, which is very close to Kep. They want to watch a new action movie.
Kimsan has to buy the tickets early because the cinema is small and fills up fast. He likes action movies because the actors are very cool. Sreymom prefers a good comedy, but she can enjoy an action movie too, as long as the screen is big and the sound is loud. They are very excited for their movie date!
