Introduction
In Bangkok during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, a suicide leap pulls the lives of the four main characters together, forcing them to confront their past and re-imagine their futures.
Synopsis
In 1997, Mutt, who works as a currency trader in New York, must suddenly return home to Bangkok when his father commits suicide. After the funeral, he decides to track down Sai, his old girlfriend from high-school. Meanwhile his younger brother Nic is in love with Poupee, who lives in a low-income flat behind their townhouse. While the economic crisis looms over the city, both relationships face uncertainty. As they drift between the past and the present, between dreams and reality, their only escape is in a collage of love songs, music videos and recorded memories.
