Director

Santi Taepanich

Year

2007

The first fiction feature by Santi Taepanich collages the experiences of four residents of Bangkok whose lives are lived at night. They include a world-weary call-boy played by Ananda Everingham. This non-linear tale explores the lives of those affected by urban living, and set as a jet descends for landing and flocks of birds begin their migratory flight. The characters include a shady night-market merchant, a rent boy, and the latter’s pregnant girlfriend.
