Manta Ray
Drama
Near a coastal village of Thailand, by the sea where thousands of Rohingya refugees have drowned, a local fisherman finds an injured man lying unconscious in the forest. He rescues the stranger, who doesn’t speak a word, offers him his friendship and names him Thongchai. But when the fisherman suddenly disappears at sea, Thongchai slowly begins to take over his friend’s life - his house, his job and his ex-wife.
VIBE
A quiet, contemplative film that washes over you like the tide. It’s a somber exploration of displacement and the search for a place to call home, set against a starkly beautiful, unforgiving landscape.
