"Tropical Malady is a Thai film directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The film tells the story of a soldier named Keng who is assigned to a remote village in Thailand. There, he meets a young man named Tong, and the two develop a close bond. However, their relationship takes a strange turn when Tong mysteriously disappears into the jungle. Keng sets out to find him, but as he delves deeper into the forest, he encounters mystical creatures and spirits that challenge his perception of reality. The film is divided into two distinct halves, with the first half focusing on the budding romance between Keng and Tong, and the second half delving into the surreal and dreamlike world of the jungle. Tropical Malady is a haunting and enigmatic film that explores themes of love, desire, and the blurred boundaries between the physical and spiritual worlds."
