Tropical Malady

It is a film in two segments. The first one tells the story of Keng, a soldier assigned to a post in a small city in rural Thailand. The troops' main duties is to investigate the mysterious slaying of cattle at local farms. While in the field one day, Keng meets Tong. Later, Keng sees Tong riding in a truck in town. The two men have made a connection and embark on a romance, taking trips in the countryside.
Then one night, the country boy wanders off into the dark. The film's narrative abruptly shifts to a different story, about a soldier sent alone into the woods to find a lost villager. In the woods, the soldier encounters the spirit of a tiger shaman, who taunts and bedevils the soldier, causing him to run through the woods and become lost and isolated.
