Visiting the hotel where his parents met during the Vietnam War, an engineer finds its twisting halls alive with restless memories of the past.

A mother and son leave Myanmar in hopes for a better life in Thailand. But what lies across the border are big lessons on discrimination in seemingly small injustices - stories of the many who have gone their way before.

Near a coastal village of Thailand, a local fisherman rescues a stranger, who does not speak a word, offers him his friendship and names him Thongchai. When the fisherman suddenly disappears at sea, Thongchai slowly begins to take over his friend's life—his house, his job and his marriage.

While an invisible smoke engulfs western Thailand, a displaced couple from the Karen ethnic minority dream of returning home.

My mother dreamed that my late father came back home to see her. She strongly believes that it wasn't a dream.

Phuttiphong Aroonpheng made this work during an artist-in-residence programme at the Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) in Dublin, Ireland. The Thai film maker gazed in amazement at his new northern home base. He floated like a cloud through his temporary city, literally and metaphorically.
