An absurdist film in which two lost souls find each other underneath a durian tree. Both fed up with life, and in search of some kind of salvation. Eventually, it arrives, but in a different form than expected. A short and vibrant work which captures the transience of life on sultry Super 8.

Teased by hallucinations, Shu, a slacker living in a rural village, struggles with an ever-loosening grip on reality. Yet when one of his visions manifests as real, his fellow villagers come to regard him as a clairvoyant. Can Shu genuinely see into the future? Is he actually just a basket case? Or is he perhaps more lucid than he seems, and pulling a fast one on everyone?

Having been released after serving his sentence, a funeral director accidentally crosses paths with a girl which brings about an unexpected change in his attitude towards life.
