A Useful Ghost

-

OT: Pee chai dai ka

After Nat tragically dies from dust pollution, March is consumed by grief. But his daily life is turned upside down when he discovers his wife’s spirit has been reincarnated in a vacuum cleaner. As absurd as it seems, their bond is rekindled, stronger than ever. But it hardly to everyone’s liking. His family, still haunted by the accidental death of a factory worker, reject this supernatural relationship. To prove their love, Nat offers to clean the factory to prove herself a useful ghost, even if that means doing away with some lost souls… 

Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke's fable of immortal love between a man and a vacuum cleaner is arguably the most bizarre romance of the year. This clever social satire dispels traditional notions of relationships, outdated gender roles, and hypocritical memory culture, and was awarded the Grand Prize at the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes.
