Wela plot

Maem is a young woman in the Thai countryside of the 1960s. Her father, a clockmaker, passes on his philosophy to his daughter, while tensions from the military dictatorship and communist rebels mount. She is courted by two very different young men - a limp rickshaw driver who is literally pushed aside by an ambitious and ruthless army chief. Fifty years later, the army chief is a disgraced general. Maem nurses her often abusive husband during his last days and looks back on her past filled with loss, suffering and joy.

Nilthamrong apparently had a good look at David Lynch's films, but this film is so muddled and at times pretentious that you have to try to piece things together yourself. A bullet indicates that the old woman [Thaveeratana Leelanuja] and the gravely ill old man [Sorabodee Changsiri] know each other from an incident of an undisclosed armed conflict. Partly because Nilthamrong does not make it clear in any way whether his screenplay makes jumps in time, and if so, which ones and because there is virtually no dialogue, the connection between the various storylines is very unclear. Nilthamrong does have a sense of atmosphere, but that is not enough.
