Made with a great deal female pleasure. With plenty of giggling, one could imagine. Almost tearingly. Three women of different ages talk about sex. They also visibly enjoy it. And in the free talking and laughters, there is much hidden reality.

Using
blown-up, fractured images from the six banned scenes in “Syndromes and a
Century” by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, it’s a kind of report on the absurdity
of an act of censorship while ironically exploring the fragmented history of
Thailand. Sompot Chidgasornpongse was Weerasethakul’s assistant director.
