Synopsis

Dans un hôtel surplombant le Mékong, à Nong Khai, dans la frontière entre la Thaïlande et le Laos, le cinéaste Apichatpong Weerasethakul et son équipe travaille sur un film intitulé Ecstasy Garden. Entre documentaire et fiction, nous assistons aux répétitions du film qui raconte la rencontre dans une terrasse d'hôtel au bord du fleuve Mékong entre Phon, une jeune fille, et Tong, un jeune garçon. La jeune fille apprend l'existence d'un "pob", un fantôme cannibale, et que sa mère Tante Jen en est un. La relation avec les deux parentes va peu à peu changer.

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.

Cent-quatorze spectateurs, essentiellement féminins, assistent à la projection de l'adaptation cinématographique d'un classique de la littérature perse du XII siècle. Ces spectateurs s'émeuvent de l'histoire d'amour qui se déroulent sous leurs yeux : le film n'apparaît dans la mise en abyme qu'à travers sa bande son et les réactions du public. Néanmoins, le réalisateur trompe le spectateur puisque les actrices n'assistent pas réellement à une représentation filmique.
