In Thai, the term “tuk tuk” refers to a three-wheeled taxi. In this film, a woman searches for her lost love in the maze of a busy city, as she wanders through its endless streets. Sharp scents of oil and gasoline fill the air, bursting like gunpowder and releasing carbon monoxide and producing constant noise. Trapped in her lingering memories of love, she continues her restless journey. This black-and-white film poignantly captures her longing alongside the pulse of the city.
