CGiii Comment

At 53 minutes short - you will be sound asleep before the end.

Supposed symbolism is littered throughout...all it boils down to is a flower-collecting nagging young queen - desperate to rip the pants off his straight friend.

Well, his dream comes true, in the jungle.

There's alot of praying to Buddha and burning of incense - temples and waterfalls.

The longest 53 minutes you will ever experience.

Dreary with wind-chimes.

The(ir) Blurb...

Gay schoolboy Krit is in love with his straight classmate Vin They hang out together, go to temples and one day hike into the forest with two girl friends to see the spectacular Pachang Waterfall. And that's the whole plot of this short, elegiac film where time flows like the waters of the river the boys follow, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes swirling back. Against the idyllic setting of undisturbed forest and crumbling temples, Krit woos his would-be lover and prays to the Buddha to help him. Vin, however, is afraid of being seen as gay yet is unwilling to reject his friend.
