Let French-Italian filmmaking duo Bêka & Lemoine take you on a breathtaking road movie through Thailand, as they follow Boonserm Premthada, one of the country’s most famous contemporary architects. Permthada was born deaf, and his architecture is particularly sensitive to sound vibrations. From Bangkok’s chaotic concrete jungle to rural communities, this film reveals how his moving story has shaped his unique and perceptive approach to architecture.
