Happy Old Year

Happy Old Year

A LOVE STORY FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO MOVE ON BUT FIND IT HARD TO LET GO.

Preparing to turn her family home into a minimalist studio, a young woman declutters her life one object at a time. But discarded belongings resurface unresolved feelings tied to past friendships and a former lover.

Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit's precisely observed, emotionally generous film premiered at Sundance and went on to be selected as Thailand's official Academy Award submission for Best International Feature Film. It lingers long after the credits, in the way only films about objects and memory tend to do — the tenth highest-rated international feature of 2020 on Letterboxd.

Languages: Thai. English subtitles available.
