Damage done by the Tsunami has gone out of sight but is still spreading beneath the surface. Aditya Assarat’s HD feature Wonderful Town is set in a small declining village that wasn’t directly affected by Tsunami but located near a southern Thailand resort area that got washed away. One day, a salesman, Ton checks into the hotel. A little brother, Wit of the hotel’s host passes the day not doing much. When he finds out that Ton is having an intimate relationship with his sister, his rage explodes and he kills Ton. The film exposes people who were thrown into despair and isolation against their will and how their scars affect others. The director tells a story of a sad village where no one can accept the happiness of others through the love story between the local women and an outsider in an ironically beautiful view.
