Landing in the paradise of Thailand, cross cutting back to the main characters past life in New York, Erik ( Johan Matton) a young writer dependent on the love of his life Joanna (Linnea Larsdotter), argue and split up in the unfamiliar country of Thailand. We follow them on their separate journeys as Joanna meets up with her childhood friend David and Erik cross path with three backpackers Jamie, Cecile and Miranda. The journey takes unexpected consequences when temporary attraction, anxiety, loneliness and unfamiliar grounds forces Joanna and Erik to learn who they really are. Throughout their journey in Thailand we sporadically flashback into the beginning of Erik and Joanna's life in New York to learn who they are - each time we reveal a moment further back in time leading up to the first time they met. Written by Johan Matton
I have to ask myself what drugs were people taking when this movie was given such great reviews? I mean, if this were an 8th grade movie project then maybe, just maybe this would be a 6 at best. Frankly, I would avoid this movie at all costs. It could be 45 minutes shorter and still the viewer would be left bored. Slow moving, a pretty shallow plot, a travel movie to support tourism in Thailand, two wooden actors who look like they are two anorexics in search of acting classes and there you have the basics of this movie that took about 102 minutes out of my life that I will never get back. I would highly recommend this movie as one to ignore and go watch something else with a plot, some meaningful dialogue, and two main characters who actually can portray some moods other than angry or depressed.
