The Mental Traveller meditates on the passing of time, external behavior and sensory reality for five
men on a psychiatric ward. The film was conceived from the
director’s connections to his parents and companions as they went
through states of sickness, impending death, dementia, grief and
temporary insanity. At the same time, it echoes the turbulent
years of political upheavals and repercussions in Thailand, resulting
in a nation in a state of delirium, lunacy and trauma.
