Amorn Harinnitisuk from Thailand brought a low-budget experimental film “From a pimple to nirvana,” where the main character and all the other characters played by only one actress – Attam Chivanitchaphan. The strange name of the young director explained simply:
– Pimples occur because of hormonal background or great emotional stress. This is a manifestation of disharmony in the body. And from this disharmony heroine moves to harmony and peace with itself, that is, to a state of nirvana. This is a natural way is hidden in each of us.
