Synopsis
Near a coastal village of Thailand, by the sea where thousands of Rohingya refugees have drowned, a local fisherman finds an injured man lying unconscious in the forest. He rescues the stranger, who does not speak a word, offers him his friendship and names him Thongchai. But when the fisherman suddenly disappears at sea, Thongchai slowly begins to take over his friend’s life – his house, his job and his ex-wife...
Director’s statement
Mysterious bodies are drowned in the Thai sea and buried deep in the ground. Bodies of Rohingya refugees, whose voices remain unheard. These voices are not to disappear, not to be forgotten. I recorded them because I want them to find a place to exist, in my film.
