Many Rohingya refugees have perished on their journeys to Thailand, and director Phuttiphong Aroonpheng has said that his film is dedicated to them. It’s no screed, but its explorations of identity and ownership certainly have political undertones. Wanlop Rungkumjad plays a Thai fisherman who discovers a mute, injured man (Aphisit Hama) near the coast. He takes him into his home and names him Thongchai, but when the fisherman disappears at sea, Thongchai starts to take on his rescuer’s identity…
