Little Sap, a poor country girl who joined the dance troupe to give her family a better life, is apprehensive about travelling to a faraway land. In Paris the artist August Rodin is captivated by the classical beauty of Cambodian dance. He insists on sketching the dancers, especially Little Sap. As Rodin's pencil sweeps across his paper, Little Sap's worries melt away and she realises how far she has come in fulfilling her duties to her family.
