Staying Single When, released in Cambodia's main cinema, 'Kirirom' (now closed) in March 2007 and premiered on CTN, Cambodia's most popular TV channel, in October 2007, is a 100-minute romantic comedy from the production company Khmer Mekong Films (KMF).

At the launch party of Kep's luxury Beach House Hotel, handsome manager Sarun also celebrates a milestone.

The closest females have been the waitresses at the hotel (not his type) and his efficient assistant manager Somalie (the boss’ daughter) whose arranged marriage to family friend, Neang, looms large.

Sarun's accident-prone friend Otdom, maintenance man at the hotel, considers himself to be an expert in marriage - he has two lovely wives of his own.

With the aunts’ efforts backfiring, Otdom takes it upon himself to find the perfect wife for his friend, employing increasingly desperate measures along the way.

Somalie watches from the sidelines, trying to help her colleague find happiness at the same time hiding misgivings about her own wedding.

But due to appalling weather in Kep - a small Cambodian seaside town in which half the story is set - shooting was abandoned after two days.
