Film description

Pansittivorakul's first full-length feature is a political science-fiction piece. In the sterile future Thailand is a country ruled by "The Leader" in which people live comfortably but the technological development made direct contact between people impossible – they can only communicate through avatars. The director complements the narration with reflections on religion and ideology using quotes from Žižek and Lacan and sequences of homoerotic fantasies. Those topics, known from his previous productions, are dressed in a unique, original visual form, with hypnotic, pulsing light and surreal landscapes.
