What does the last day of life look like? In Die Tomorrow, Thai filmmaker Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit weaves together a series of vignettes based on news stories of the final day of six ordinary individuals before they die. These snapshots of ordinary life are often mundane and unremarkable. Yet, Thamrongrattanarit recreates the texture of these fleeting moments with a sensitive touch that has marked his previous works, including Heart Attack (2015). Featuring a blend of fictional shorts, interviews, statistics, and audio recordings, Die Tomorrow balances the weight of its subject with the brevity of poignant connections between loved ones.
