A dead woman returns as a vacuum cleaner ghost in this entirely unique, hilarious and accomplished Cannes award winner from Thailand.

After Nat dies from dust pollution, she returns to her loving husband, March, in the form of a luxurious vacuum cleaner. Her aristocratic in-laws, however, are not interested in the vacuum cleaner. After all, they had to close down their factory after it was attacked by ghosts. Nat manages to win them over by ridding the factory of ghosts, but that is only the beginning of her job as ghost hunter.

Very original – a rather surreal, with at times hilarious humour. The film maker brings together an exceptional mix of genres: fantasy, ghost story, social and political drama, and a reflection on mourning, all supported by strong cinematography.Very original – a rather surreal, with at times hilarious humour.

Dit hilarische en ontroerende Thaise spookverhaal is een zelfverzekerd en absurd debuut.
