THE ISLAND FUNERAL

Laila decides to take a road trip from Bangkok to Pattani, one of the three southernmost Thai provinces, to visit their long-lost aunt. Her brother and his friend are tagging along. The three take off from Bangkok during the time the capital is going through radical conflict between different political ideologies. Being away from the political heat in the city, prevent them from realizing much about the unstable situation and violent outbreaks that have also been occurring around Pattani for many years. Meeting a suspicious young soldier sent to fight the insurgents, the four head together to find Laila’s aunt, where the route is leading them to discover a land stranger than that they are familiar with.
