Dearest Sister

Original title in Lao: Nong Hak

2016 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Mattie Do

Even if we feel close to each other, there is an endless distance between each of us, which can never be overcome as the color of noise can never be seen.

This story is based on two different perceptions of the world, one being audial, the other – visual. To reveal the contrast between them even more, there are quite scientific texts used in this film. Those texts have been created in a formal manner to ephasize the abstract environment and mood of the film, at the same time bringing the main storyline to a more deeper, metaphorical and symbolic level. In such a way exactly those texts, viewed in the context of the relationships between two main characters, brings out the main idea of the film.
