The wild mix of genres in this film about an undertaker in the province of Isaan – a lot of comedy, a little horror, a little “Sopranos” – surprisingly became an absolute audience favorite in Thailand. When his son is on vacation in his home village, his friend’s depressed girlfriend has just hanged herself and he now wants to apologize to her for his bad behaviour by astral traveling.
Joed is spending the time until his law exams with his father, who works as an undertaker in the province of Isaan. A young woman has hanged herself there and her ex-boyfriend wants to apologise for his bad behaviour by astral travelling before she is cremated. But he needs the help of the undertaker, who – like many in the village – is a real expert in the world between life and death. Contact is made traditionally, but also with the help of AI.
The film is a discovery for anyone who wants to venture on a film trip to a Thailand far off the beaten track. The Undertaker is a spin-off of Thibaan – The Series, with which Thiti Srinuan became famous.
