Damage done by the Tsunami has gone out of sight but is still spreading beneath the surface. Wonderful Town is set in a small declining village that wasn’t directly affected by Tsunami but located near a southern Thailand resort area that got washed away. One day, a salesman, Ton, checks into the hotel. A little brother of the hotel’s host, Wit, passes the day not doing much. When he finds out that Ton is having an intimate relationship with his sister, his rage explodes and he kills Ton. The film exposes people who were thrown into despair and isolation against their will and how their scars affect others.
