Overview

Xipai Tamaweng, who lives in Laos, makes a living by running a grocery store. He also has another special identity - a storyteller. Xipai often goes to a small theater after work to tell tourists about the ancient legends of Laos. When he learned that an elderly storyteller had passed away, Xipai felt that this field was facing an unprecedented crisis, so he went to a remote village and used paper and pen to record the stories preserved by many storytellers. This film interweaves interesting ancient legends in the storyteller's journey of exploration, immersing the audience in the mysterious folk myths. Faced with the impact of digital media and the loneliness of oral traditions, the film records a race against time and also records the national memory that is about to be forgotten.
