Near a coastal village of Thailand, a local fisherman rescues a stranger, who does not speak a word, offers him his friendship and names him Thongchai. When the fisherman suddenly disappears at sea, Thongchai slowly begins to take over his friend's life—his house, his job and his marriage.

25th MIFF "LISTAPAD": film #5
"If you're scared, just close your eyes."
Thailand cinema is unique to say the least, it's very pensive and dreamy and always feels like a folktale. Manta Ray is kind of impressive but also it's very vague and without a good knowledge about Thailand is hard to fully understand it, even after the director of the film tried to explain some things about it during Q&A there are still more questions than answers, and it wouldn't be a problem if I did feel the film, but unfortunately I didn't.
