Syndromes and a Century

The film "Syndromes and a Century" is a poetic, two-part drama about director Apichatpong Weerasethakul's parents, who were both doctors, and his memories of growing up in hospital environments. The first part is set in a rural Thai hospital, while the second half takes place in a Bangkok medical center. Character Dr. Toey (Nantarat Sawaddikul) is portrayed as one of the protagonists, alongside Dr. Nohng (Jaruchai Iamaram). The film explores themes of transformation and memory, with Apichatpong allowing the story to evolve organically rather than adhering to a specific narrative structure.
