IN POST PRODUCTION THE BURNING GIANTS
A mysterious toxic smog is infecting Keren Mountain people, an ethnic minority in Thailand. Men and women get a bizarre skin condition, as if they are burned by an invisible fire. The government official forest marshalls worry and consequently burn down the villages of the Mountain people. A good excuse to make way for a new national park so after the pandemic. By destroying their habitat the Keren have nowhere to return. When one of the Keren migrant female, working as a nanny in Bangkok, hears of a lone mountainman captured in the mountains, she abandons everything she build in the city, and takes her young daughter to hopefully find her lost husband.
Present time is interwoven with the mystical story of the Burning Giants, as there is much more at stake than a reunion of a torn family.
