- Synopsis
- Director Jakrawal Nilthamrong’s Anatomy of Time overlays a woman’s sacrifice on modern history, alternately portrays the young and the old age of a woman named Maem. In the 1960s, the young Maem was a charming young lady who was being proposed by two men. She eventually ends up marrying a cold-blooded and ambitious military officer. However, as time passes, her husband has become a helpless patient laid in bed all day and cannot do anything without someone’s help. Although she herself has grown old and has lost many things, she is silently protecting her husband. The director has worked for short films, documentaries and visual installations to depict various elements. Based on his personal family history, he created a story overlaid with the historical background in Thailand during the Cold War. In the words of the director, the film is about pain, existence and the essence of time.
