Synopsis
The Northeast of Thailand is home to indigo, the king of blues. Ay, a Thai-Western teenager, grew up there in a family that has been dyeing indigo for over two generations. She studies fashion in Bangkok to revitalize her family’s business. Ay returns home in the winter to work on her thesis on indigo-dyed clothing, but the indigo fades no matter what she does. On Christmas Day, Ay finally sees Sumeth, her lone childhood friend. After learning that Sumeth is struggling to discard his Catholic beliefs, she reflects on her college friend Pair, who always tries hard to get along with everyone. Adrift in the lands of thoughts and dreams, Ay’s bonds with her two friends drive her to wonder where she belongs until she realizes how to achieve the shade of blue that belongs to her.
Director
Thapanee Loosuwan was born in Bangkok in 1991, but grew up in the Northeast of Thailand, where the cultural identity is quite different compared to the capital. She later returned to Bangkok to study filmmaking at Silpakorn University’s Faculty of Information and Communication Technology. After graduation, Thapanee worked as a freelance scriptwriter for the influential Thai entertainment company Nadao Bangkok for 8 months. In 2019, she received the Best Script Award from Thailand’s Ministry of Culture. Loosuwan makes his debut, Blue Again as if it was a letter to Northeastern Thailand about her past relationships and feelings in her coming of age.
