Winner of the 2010 Cannes Palme d'Or, Thai artist and filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul is recognised as one of contemporary cinema's most unique voices. 'Mysterious Object at Noon' is his hallucinatory debut feature, an extraordinary mix of experimental documentary and fiction.

The film is structured as a surrealist game; a small film-crew travel the Thai countryside asking people they encounter along the way to invent the next chapter of a story. The daisy-chain structure of interlocking vignettes - alternately fantastical, comic and workaday - result in a boldly original debut that looks and feels like nothing else.

Qiang is a four-year-old little rebel... a clever child with sparkly eyes and a precociously indomitable will. As his parents frequently work away from Beijing, they decide to take Qiang to board at a well-appointed residential nursery school.

Life at the kindergarten appears rich and colourful, made up of a variety of cheerfully sunny rituals and games meant to train these children to be good members of society. But it's not easy for Qiang to adapt to this kind of carefully organised, minutely scrutinised collective life. A fierce individualist in miniature, he tries but fails to conform to the model his teachers enforce. Yet he still craves the reward that the other students win: the little red flowers awarded each day as tokens for good behaviour. But Qiang doesn't win any flowers: he can't yet dress himself, and doesn't play together with the other children. He even dares to talk back to the strict Teacher Li and Principal Kong when they try to impose some discipline on him. Gradually, his charisma and bravado start to win over his classmates: their stealthy little rebellions gain steam when he succeeds in convincing everyone that Teacher Li is a child-eating monster in disguise. When their attempt to capture her is thwarted, Qiang's resistance develops a more disturbing dimension, and he is forcibly ostracised from his companions. Will he succumb to the adult-enforced conformity around him, or will he insist on growing up his own way, by his own rules?
