“Love is a malady without a cure...”

DramaRomanceFantasy

A romance between a soldier and country boy is ruptured by the boy’s sudden disappearance. Their story turns into a mythical venture based on Thai folklore.

VIBE

A languid, sun-drenched romance gives way to a primal, jungle-infused dread. It's a hypnotic, dreamlike journey into desire and the wild, where the boundaries between reality and myth blur into an unsettling, sensual haze.
