“Inspired by one of [Apichatpong’s] short, ‘Driving’, ... [this film] is funny and provocative, inexplicable and easy to enjoy. In other words, quite something.� Tony Rayns, Vancouver International Film Festival

En route from Bangkok to Nong Bua, a small town otherwise known as I-San in Northwestern Thailand, a bus is travelling on its normal route. On this night of the full moon, however, the typical journey is anything but usual.

The passengers become characters of a Thai soap opera whose scripted drama unfolds as the bus travels east, interrupted only by the reality of a gas station stop and other usual roadside diversions.

At first glance, the film looks as if it is divided into two parts: the soap-style acting on the bus, and the documentary-style story telling of the bus passengers off the bus.As the film goes on, links between these two worlds unfold - the world of a harsh reality and the world of a surreal soap.
