A man wakes up in the middle of the night and hears his vacuum cleaner coughing. It is the beginning of a highly original and witty film experience with romantic, absurdist and political layers. After the death of his wife, March is inconsolable, until he hears a familiar voice during a visit to his mother’s factory. Nat, his wife, has returned as a ghost, in the form of a vacuum cleaner. But because the factory has long been plagued by resentful poltergeists, his family does not support this unconventional love. Vacuum cleaner ghost Nat comes to the rescue and ensures that the factory can reopen. When she is asked by people higher up to also chase away ‘useless’ ghosts, Nat gets too involved in the plans of the corrupt elite, putting her at odds with March.

This impressive directorial debut won the Grand Prix at Cannes (Semaine de la Critique) and is Thailand’s Oscar entry. Director Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke, an important new voice in the Asian film industry, has been compared to Yorgos Lanthimos and cast superstar Davika Hoorne as Nat.
