A short documentary to focus into the various aspects of life, connected by the death of a former Thai King Rama IX. The event took place on December 2017 in ‘Sanctuary of Truth’ Pattaya, Thailand, as a 1st year condolence ceremony of the King. The event created diverse mixture of religious and cultural backgrounds, connecting people through a common sympathy. Associating to the event, the film puts a focus on 3 occupations; flower artists, craftsmen, and monks. By giving an insight through the roles of their dedication, the film seeks a meaning toward what life is about. Along with the musical score, the narration is generated by artificial intelligence voice, creating an outer perspective to gaze the activities of mankind.
