Storyline

In 1987, in a village at the Malaysia-Thailand border, Ah Chang is a devout follower of the local deity Datuk Gong, while his wife Ah Yan remains skeptical. After Ah Chang drives away a snake from a shrine and accidentally breaks the wall of their Siamese neighbor's house, he collapses in the fields two weeks later, coughing blood and a rusty nail. The villagers offer various explanations, but Ah Yan refuses to believe them and seeks remedies for her husband. Three months later, with Ah Chang still ill, a desperate Ah Yan visits a cave to worship the mountain spirit. There, a woman appears and tells her a legend from the Langkasuka era. Ah Yan finds herself immersed in the convergence and conflict of the border, overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty.
