Lemongrass Girl / สาวไล่ฝน
Hybrid · 2021 · 17’ · ThailandAccording to Thai superstition, a virgin can ward off rain by planting lemongrass underneath an open sky. This belief remains prevalent to this day.

As clouds begin to gather, a young production manager is tasked to carry out this tradition on a film set. While her fellow female co-workers shy away from this duty, she is left with no choice but to take on the burden of becoming the lemongrass girl.
