Human Resource
Singapore Premiere
Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit Thailand 2025 122 min R21 (Sexual Scene and Nudity)
Fren’s job is to find perfect human resources. Now pregnant, she must decide whether to create one of her own.
Fren, pressured to find a new secretary for her temperamental boss, interviews a stream of new hires as an HR officer. After discovering that she’s pregnant, she now bears a conflicting burden: the professional stress of recruiting the best human resources and her ambivalence about her own body becoming a producer of human resources. Fren’s anxieties, including worries about societal and environmental collapse, are mirrored through a wealth of sensory details – muted colours, the droning of air conditioners, podcasts and news fragments. By portraying a woman trapped in a world of relentless self-improvement, Human Resource raises bigger questions about existence, mortality and happiness.
