Wandering (2016)

Other name: ธุดงควัตร, Thudongkawat

Description:

In "Wandering," a man named Nob once led an idyllic life in a charming small town, sharing his days with his devoted wife and cherished young son. However, his world is brutally torn apart by an unimaginable tragedy: the death of his son. Overcome by an insurmountable grief, his wife eventually leaves him, plunging Nob into an abyss of sorrow and isolation. The once-supportive villagers, unable to cope with his profound despair, gradually turn their backs, leaving him utterly alone and feeling completely dejected. He descends deeper and deeper into a relentless downward spiral, lost in his grief with seemingly no way out. Just as he reaches his lowest point, a glimmer of hope appears. A compassionate monk offers a lifeline, gently encouraging Nob to embark on a transformative journey by joining the Buddhist priesthood, a path that might finally lead him out of his desolate wandering and towards inner peace.
