Solids By The Seashore + Film Club

In a southern seaside town, on a once-sandy beach eroded by high tides and now replaced by artificial rock sea walls, two young women meet. Shati, a local woman from a Muslim family, and Fon, an artist visiting for her new exhibition, find their lives intertwined. 

As their bond deepens, Shati grapples with an internal conflict between her burgeoning desires and cultural norms. Caught between fear and longing, Shati faces a pivotal decision to carve out her own path. 

Through the evolving relationship between Shati and Fon, the film subtly examines how traditions and societal expectations define their self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of a town reshaped by climate change, director Patiparn Boontarig explores the powerful forces that influence our world.
