01 / THE STORY
The plot revolves around a spreading epidemic of sleeping sickness. A lonesome middle-age housewife tends a soldier with sleeping sickness and falls into a hallucination that triggers strange dreams, phantoms, and romance. Spirits appear to the stricken and hallucination becomes indistinguishable from reality. The epidemic is used as a metaphor for personal and Thai societal issues.
