Worldly Desires is a reprisal of a forbidden love story in a more romantic time past where a couple escape their families to search for a spiritual tree in the jungle. Their quest is accompanied by a song that speaks of innocence and a sense of guiltless freedom one feels when hit by love. Apichatpong Weerasethakul describes this film as a "small simulation of manners." Weerasethakul has become one of the few filmmakers in Thailand who have worked outside the strict Thai studio system. He is active in promoting experimental and independent films through Kick the Machine, the company he founded in 1999. 2004).
