Manta Ray
2018 · Movie · 105 min. · Thailand
Nobi (Wanlop Rungkumjad), a fisherman living near a coastal village in Thailand, collects stones from the forest to help him catch giant manta rays. A tangled mess of roots, branches, and vines glimmering with twinkling lights, the forest, its surface covered in fallen leaves, hides not only the shiny rocks, but also human bodies, buried in haste. The “mute” (Aphisit Hama), is one of those bodies, except when Nobi finds him, he is alive, covered in mud, and severely injured. Nobi takes him home, cares for him, and names him Thongchai, after a famous singer.
