In this eerily haunting film, a man encounters his past in an abandoned hotel carrying scars of the Cold War.
Former popstar Jimmy is now an engineer whose latest project sees him returning to his hometown to renovate the mysterious Paradise Hotel. Once a thriving spot during the Vietnam War era, the hotel has since become a relic of a bygone era. He wanders between dream and fantasy through the maze of the narrow corridors to retrace his family’s history.
The hotel today is composed of the remnants of a paradise, while the people who remain struggle with a life of hardship. Through the decaying hotel, Morrison presents a projection of the aftermath of American power during the Cold War, whose wounds still haunt Thai society decades later.
