A Daydream With Fini

A Daydream With Fini

Unclassified 18+
Dir. Grace Tan / 2024 / 6 mins / Australia, Spain / Spanish / Drama / World Premiere

On a sweltering summer’s day, two elderly friends talk about work, travel and dreams.

Marking a huge change of pace from director Grace Tan’s previous short Lucky Peach (MIFF 2022), A Daydream With Fini was made as part of the Apichatpong Weerasethakul Lab in August 2023. The rural Mexico–set film proudly wears the Thai auteur’s influence on its sleeve as conversation, daily routine and an afternoon nap blur together.
