Production and Concept

Co-directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Pimpaka Towira, the film was written by Sompot Chidgasornpongse and Weerasethakul. Weerasethakul described the experimental project as an invitation to Towira to capture a daytime love story alongside a nighttime song, serving as a simulation of manners dedicated to memories of jungle filmmaking between 2001 and 2005.
