MOTEL MIST
Sopol, a typical Thai father-like figure with kinky and dangerous sexual fetishes, brings his new young prey, a school girl named Laila, to motel mistress. Tun, a former child actor who has been reported missing by his mother and causing the media to speculate wildly over his alleged delusional belief that aliens are coming to take him away check into room number 5. Tot, a motel staffer, dreams of the reward money offered by Tun’s mother for information on her son’s whereabouts. Sexy Vicky arrives just in time to help her friend Laila from falling under Sopol’s violent domination. These four lives eventually connect in a way that none of them could have anticipated. All are “taken away.”
