Mi

n their first feature film collaboration - a film adaptation of a classic Myanmar
novel by Ki Aye, set in the conservative Burmese society of the 1940s – Paing
Phyo Thu stars as Mi: an irreverent & free-spirited young woman living on
borrowed time. Consumed by tuberculosis, a fatal illness in the post-war era,
she finds solace in cigarettes and brandy. The glittering nightlife of Rangoon is
her playground, where she captivates wealthy men with her wit and charm. Her past is shrouded in mystery, and her true motivations are unclear to all who try to define her enigmatic elusiveness. Emotionally destroyed by his unrequited love for Mi, a young naïve admirer unwittingly fuels fires of passion and intrigue as he confesses his heartbreak to a friend – who will become the next victim of her lure. Lines between love and obsession blur. And as death looms for Mi, she grapples with the fragility of life and the meaninglessness of existence.
