Synopsis by Jack Rodgers
In this surreal drama from visionary Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, a rural school is converted into a makeshift clinic for a group of soldiers that have fallen into a mysterious coma. A kindhearted volunteer nurse (Jenjira Pongpas) develops feelings for one of the soldiers, and enlists the help of a psychic (Jarinpattra Rueangram) in order to communicate with him. Cemetery of Splendor made its world premiere at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
