Cemetery of Splendour (Thai: Rak Ti Khon Kaen) is a 2015 Thai drama film directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The plot revolves around a spreading epidemic of sleeping sickness. Spirits appear to the stricken and hallucination becomes indistinguishable from reality. The epidemic is used as a metaphor for personal and Thai societal issues. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. It has been selected to be shown in the Masters section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, and will have its US premier at the 2015 New York Film Festival.

Synopsis

En Thaïlande, de nos jours. Des soldats souffrent d’une mystérieuse maladie : ils demeurent plongés dans un profond sommeil, s'éveillent quelques heures puis s'effondrent de nouveau, endormis. On les a transférés dans une vieille école transformée en hôpital de fortune où la jeune médium Ken tente de communiquer avec eux.

Min is an illegal Burmese immigrant living in Thailand who has contracted a mysterious rash that is painful and covers the upper part of his body. His girlfriend, Roong, and an older woman, Orn, take him to see a doctor. Min pretends that he cannot speak because he is not fluent in Thai and speaking would reveal him to be an illegal immigrant. The doctor treats him, however because he does not have proper ID documents, the doctor refuses to supply him with the medical papers necessary to get a work permit. Orn's prescribed medication is also mentioned, and it is unclear whether she is taking pain killers or anti-depressants.
