When other workers at her husband’s factory die from unsafe working conditions, Nat decides to prove herself useful by exorcising their displaced spirits.  The winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes Critics’ Week, Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke’s surreal dark comedy is both a haunting drama about loss and memory, and a powerful indictment of classism and working-class oppression in Thai society. The brilliantly conceived genre-bender cleverly defies expectations and conventions with ample humor and suspense. https://vimeo.com/1165202270?fl=pl&fe=ti&turnstile=0.4J53WFoq6Gg_5qgEiYbKLtUhfjlY79HbKkaSrOMPczbWJbNYX06C3kACzuGVonpze5AKsnjCHxaQ6Kqq9utvfKLgrirT2E_25uid2qLPUSP7-kcmDcYDIWC7GMd_zVfjev0mgh9iSSzrDTOFTwtlytbaP7ohDl-3bE5Aqmukfgmw0twRVC7kl3z5fdV7xv5-W4y_MLdFNjivZ2hJjbR8-vH0J2JNt-bVWrOn1ycapHllq2yTshhd-OA6rjhVzP8pCW3WC6Z4LU_PcBNGNaBmSaEOsl28vwjpJPn5ABUqLpdzvOD_xh4-q_6SPfbqAD6xNg4Na5sphm9cXjupchpWgdiPKUn7FuF2Hh81QK_OHFydsfRzmPO3Cx7xBqFZVgGfwyzpYgu1_jweRk4OTTFtpdMYkQVZ6_Q055xQ6Ru2jecekHPo_vk6tV00N-yqbDPvcrnEDw9B9d3qjeLYXgF6VI14j72zSC8954XgCb_HGichk-IlxRfxffDiQ23si3uRCQ557hruKRrSxP1UwgBS-0CJeSNbBahWaNChvKioG0r827NqIB7aEVR8zuXQJE0pXJ1hzihRclV9gkMx3TDnUxLHB2hDCHMcPCkk2mv2QGfIYff03jXwtrJTEAViY658GeCiXZ4MHLfXwlAzPwUKSsZOH1S8cIeavUcTyIGO8jULRi9YdpRg4knU_g4DMPG28WIyv0uWOTp1SnD0_5p25VJCq6-PcSH06Xkv2BgSg1L_GMrICS251jgMESFmtN6RUEMkCIvmH4j3DvleL0t4-1gD3SFR6cgLMLQzK66wCytXdkvg8yhV4QtalsUbBOZAaJjQcFV5lmhkS44q6zgKBjW58647--HlKSZ023UTS7EvofWpgmFKQZmxzxMnetWWwW5DUMO_KEFt0uqPiE3k5CUx_eIIeMSiSzTRueCnvrw.29FCNV24bYGTeJPsMW8Qrg.1f44e4e8f4ce5664845313d5c0c336ef4c95913310894006e14f1b8923ab7b0bIMPORTANT TICKET INFORMATIONAll ticket sales are final and non-refundable, so please double-check your plans before purchasing.Programs and schedules are subject to change.Stay in the loop with the latest screening updates by subscribing to our weekly newsletter at asianpopupcinema.org/subscribe.Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
