Monika stands by the riverbank, watching her reflection in the water. Her life in a small village in northern Thailand moves to a rhythm set by nature and the traditions of the Mon people. This 2025 portrait documentary follows her daily routines: from gathering herbs in the forest to preparing a family meal and participating in local ceremonies. The camera observes without intrusion, capturing moments of silence, weariness, and rare joy. The film explores not exoticism, but the authenticity of existence at the crossroads of modernity and fading customs. The viewer witnesses the slow passage of time, where the future of the village and its youth remains uncertain.
