Synopse
A debut film from Thailand which dryly tells the love story of a man and a household appliance. Strange things are happening in March’s factory. First, an accident leads to the products manufactured there being possessed, then his late wife Nat turns up in the form of a vacuum cleaner. But while the couple’s feelings don’t let matters like life and death get in the way, resistance grows in March’s conservative family. Quirky, yet sensitive, the film portrays the everyday ghosts around us and at the same time the political history of Thailand.
