Tongpong Chantarangkul : 2011
Padang besar
A mother travels to Bangkok to visit her teenage daughter, Pann, who lies to avoid spending time with her. Soon after, Pann returns to her friends but then receives a phone call from her aunt telling her that her mother has suffered a terrible accident and is in a coma. Pann hurries to contact her elder sister, Pinn, who had run away from her marriage to Singapore to start a new life away from family constraints. Their mother's subsequent death forces the two sisters, alienated from each other, to accompany the body in an ambulance on a two-day journey from Bangkok to the birthplace of their mother in rural Thailand. During the journey home, they look back on what they shared and what drove them apart. Each is forced to confront the secrets and resentment they have been hiding their whole lives, and also the loneliness their mother must have felt without her daughters.
