Life in a high paced city drains our individuality; Thailand’s New Year festival has the answer. “Lets throw water at each other.” This visual anthropology is a personal travel backwards to humanity from fast paced living. Desolation Angel takes the “farang” on a journey of discovery and acculturation as we travel from the megalopolis of Bangkok to provincial Thailand to unravel a new pathway in life.
