After a fortune teller warns him that his elderly mother may die soon, Sakol (63) sets out on a one-day pilgrimage to nine temples as a remedy. Just two weeks before her birthday, he brings his ailing mother, along with his wife, brother, sister, and children, on the trip amid the splendor of Thai architecture. From temple to temple, the nine family members are forced to bridge their clashes, while the grandmother grows physically and mentally weary.

9 Temples to Heaven screens once in London: ICA, Sunday 11 October at 15:15.
