Other name: สิ้นเมษาฝนตกมาปรอยปรอย, Like Raining at the End of April

Description:

In April the Following Year There Was a Fire follows Nhum, a Bangkok construction foreman who loses his job due to political instability in Thailand. He decides to return to his northeast hometown of Khon Kaen during the Thai New Year in April to attend a high school friend's wedding. There, amidst the hottest month of the year, Nhum reunites with old friends and runs into Joy, his former high school crush. However, the narrative takes an unexpected turn when the movie transitions into a semi-autobiographical documentary. Featuring interviews with the director's father and brother, the film masterfully blurs the lines between reality and fiction, documentary and narrative, and past and present. Through Nhum's journey, viewers are invited into a profound exploration of personal memory and the broader Thai society. This cinematic voyage seamlessly blends the real and the imagined to deliver a unique, thought-provoking experience.
