Wonderful Town
Directed by Aditya Assarat • With Anchalee Saisoontorn, Supphasit Kansen • Produced by Pop Pictures
Takua Pa is a small town in the South of Thailand. Ever since the tsunami, people have lost their jobs and remember better times in the past.
One day a stranger comes to town. His name is Ton. He is an architect.
He rents a room in a small hotel owned by Na. They begin to have a secret love affair. The town finds out about it, people are bored and angry. And now they have found an enemy, a person they can blame.
The film is about a love that grows where there is no more love, like a flower that grows in the dirt. About a town that tries to destroy the beauty that it cannot have for itself. Can a town be wonderful again?
