Holiday

Boon, a hardworking employee, is retrenched after eight years of service. On his last day, he wanders around on a “holiday” in a bid to fill his time and emptiness. He ends up at the top floor of a building where he meets Tham, a Thai man who shares a smoke and life stories with him. They do not actually understand each other, but after the exchange, Boon comes to an acceptance of his situation and purposes to be constructive once again.
