A woman lies awake at night. Nearby, a set of scrolled theatre backdrops unrolls to reveal two alternate landscapes. Blue offers a deceptively simple, choreographed dance of scrolls and a portrait of feverish slumber between dream and reality. Filmed during 12 nights in the heart of a Thai forest.

Everything happens at the edges of the frame here. The action is minimal: two lines build up an undulating pattern and unfurl again.
