About
Three days before the tsunami hits Khao Lak, Jens Lind and his family travel on after a few weeks in paradise. With him, he has filmed material with people and moments from a place that would soon disappear. In the ten years that have passed, Jens has returned to the beach and the survivors. The documentary "Khao Lak" is a personal observation of a place that was washed away and rebuilt. At the center of the story is the unique little bungalow-place called "Mai's Quiet Zone".
