In Saeed Taji Farouky's impressionistic documentary, the act of manual labour gains a sensorial, almost celestial dimension, as the film presents the hard lives of oil extractors.
The dynamic soundscape of cranking levers and roaring generators creates an immersive experience, showcasing the unique, unregulated oil extraction in Myanmar's Dahat Pin.
Htwe Tin and Thein Shwe's lives depict the struggle for survival in a changing world, highlighting generational shifts through their son Zin Ko Aung's pursuit of football.
The hypnotic score and striking cinematography transform the muddy landscape, turning oil extraction from mere exploitation into a portrayal of spirituality and life’s cyclical nature.
