In parts of the world that have no arthouse cinema or proper video distribution, piracy has been the only way for would- be filmmakers and cinephiles to see arthouse films. Nawapol's playful documentary puts the spotlight on Van VDO, a VHS shop that became the tastemaker for a whole generation of Thai cinephiles by carrying just about everything, including an eclectic selection of world cinema. In addition to proprietor Mr. Van himself, Nawapol also interviews prominent Thai filmmakers like Pen-ek Ratanaruang, Banjong Pisanthanakun and Kongdej Jaturanrasamee, all of whom became inspired to make films thanks to Van VDO.
