Squish! is a meditation on the self through lurid and liquid forms; filtered through both old and foreseeable technology informed by Thai animation history and contemporary culture, and a constant process of constructing and deforming new selves to simulate ‘movements’. By extrapolating and redefining the terms of ‘movement’, be it through psychological, physical or political understandings, the work interweaves the medium of animation with a state of depression.

Cuatro directores tailandeses narran, en este filme omnibus, cómo ven el futuro de su país. Así, vemos sendas piezas en las que el futuro se mezcla con la crítica a la situación política de Tailandia. Aditya Assarat filma a un joven soldado en una galería de arte, y transmite de forma sutil el estado de represión actual. Wisit Sasanatieng firma una fábula futurista poblada de hombres-gato.
