Synopsis:
In 2020, Thai filmmaker Primrin (29) began documenting the toxic waste dumping in Nong Phawa village. Immersed in her project, she developed rashes that led to a shocking diagnosis of a severe disease. Forced to abandon her film and undergo intensive treatment, she faced the harsh reality of suffering while bedridden and battling the disease. After two years, Primrin eventually entered remission, feeling gratitude for her survival. This life-altering experience inspired her to reconnect with herself through Vipassana meditation, where she seeks fundamental truths about her existence in the universe.
