Agrarian Utopia (0+)

the Netherlands, Thailand, 2009, colour, 120 min.
Director: Uruphong Raksasad
Facing seizure of their own lands, two families found themselves farming together on the same field, hoping to get through just another rice-farming season like every year. But no matter how much the world is evolving, how much the country is going through economic, political and social changes, they still cannot grasp that ideology of happiness.
How can we dream of utopia while our stomach is still grumbling?

AWARDS
