Synopsis

After Siam and Lido, the first two standalone cinemas in Siam Square, disappeared in flames long ago, Scala cinema became the last standalone cinema in Bangkok that was still operating, until it was defeated by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Not long after its last film screening, Scala declared that it would be dismantled. A filmmaker who is also the daughter of one of the cinema's former employees started to explore Scala and unexpectedly faced her long-lost childhood memories when she met her father's old friends as they gathered for their final mission: dismantling their workplace.
