Opening Film: FLAT GIRLS 

From finger-on-the-pulse Thai producers Jira “Keng” Maligool and Vanridee “One” Pongsittisak – the creative forces behind international hit How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies – comes a heartfelt coming-of-age tale that delicately explores the complexity and dynamism of teenage friendships.

​

Sensitively written and artfully directed by gifted debutante Jirassaya Wongsutin, Flat Girls is set against the vibrant backdrop of modern Bangkok, and plays out in an inner-city apartment complex that houses the families of local police officers. 

​

Some here yearn for a better life beyond the neighbourhood, while others find comfort in its close-knit community. For teenagers Jane (Kirana Pipityakorn) and Ann (Fatima Dechawaleekul), this urban apartment complex is more than just home; it’s a sanctuary where they can hide and take shelter from the often-painful outside world. The depth of Jane and Ann’s friendship is tested when a handsome young policeman comes between them, prompting jealousy and threatening to change their young lives forever. ​
