The living and the dead share a single body
In short: In Thailand, the boundary between the physical and spiritual worlds is porous. This documentary explores the intense, often mysterious relationship between the living and ancestral spirits who are invited to inhabit the human form.
Rooted in a Buddhist civilization, Thai culture treats ancestral spirits with a mixture of reverence and fear. The documentary explores unique rites, ceremonies, and festivals dedicated to these entities, focusing on the hope of securing their protection.
A central theme is the intensity of these spiritual encounters, where ancestors are believed to enter the bodies of the living. The film provides a rare look into these extraordinary practices and the specific cultural rituals that govern this secret spiritual world.
