Mr.
Koon begins a 700-mile journey across Thailand from north to south, in search of
a woman who used to live next door to him when he was a child. During his
voyage, his path crosses that of other travelers, who are also waiting for
something and are driven by the same concrete yet indefinite desire that moved
Mr. Koon to search for a childhood dream that is forty years old.
"This
is a film inspired by my cross-country car rides and the strange people I see in
the middle of the night. This is a story of one man I saw" (A. Assarat).
