Synopsis:

Southern Thai town. On a once-sandy beach eroded by high tides and now replaced by artificial rock sea walls, two young women meet. Shati is a local Muslim woman from a conservative family. Fon is an activist-turned-visual artist, in town for her new art exhibition. The deeper they get to know each other, the bigger Shati’s internal conflict with her traditional roots – that forbids same-sex relationship – becomes. Caught between fear and desire, she is reminded of the old cautionary tales from her childhood told by her late and beloved grandmother.
During Shati’s pivotal moment, on Fon’s last night in town, the strange otherworldly occurrences in the tales of Shati’s grandmother gradually start to happen. A storm is brewing. Whether it’s all a dream or not, Shati is making a decision to forge a path for herself, and comes to terms with who she is.
