Synopsis

An old Laotian hermit discovers that the ghost of a road accident victim can transport him back in time fifty years to the moment of his mother’s painful death.

Mattie Do is the premier female director in Laos. In her third film, she combines the life of a peasant in the village with supernatural elements and the technology of the future. To what extent can we change the dark memories of the past in order to move forward more peacefully?
