Plot

A documentary-fiction film built from a story passed along Thai villages.

Sinekatalog’s take

Apichatpong Weerasethakul's debut documentary-fiction travels across Thailand, as villagers continue an invented story, passing it from person to person. Playful and magical, it is a charming exploration of storytelling itself.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
