Apichatpong’s experiment in collective storytelling was inspired by the Surrealist game ‘Exquisite Corpse’, in which players draw a part of a picture (usually a figure), or write a line of a story, without awareness of the whole. Shooting ‘on the road’, the director and his small crew asked people they met throughout the country to contribute the next lines of a story about a handicapped boy and his tutor, a woman named Dogfar. The interviewees — muay thai kickboxers, grandmothers, video game-playing school children — all participate enthusiastically, employing uniquely Thai modes of storytelling.
