Parallel Universe (post-production)

 

(Genre: Psy-Fi/Thai -Fi/Existential/Comedy)

Practicing in psychotherapy in Chicago for 8 years, Mit Raitrakul, a psychologist who believes in a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, begins to have an unusual-yet -familiar dreamlike experience of a double reality. He discovers himself in his metaphoric life as a transvestite bathroom janitor at an unknown train station, and running into familiar characters. Then he meets with Henri, a neurosurgeon who has been seeing Mit for a few weeks for his drug addiction problem. They both seem to ask the same big philosophical questions about life and their purposes.

While Mit’s profession is to help his clients by listening and understanding their behaviors and other complex dimensions of the minds, Tim, Mit’s parallel life as a public restroom janitor, also has a metaphoric experience by interacting and observing behavior of people who come into the restrooms, letting them reflect their thoughts and problems from their own cognitive experiences.
