Plots
SPACED OUT is a movie dedicated to all the people who are on the road to recovery from drug addiction. The film is a realistic depiction of addiction and how there is no magic cure. There are no automatic fixes or silver bullets. The vicious cycle of progress and defeat tumbles the family of Panthoi through many years in this film chronicle. It also depicts the relationship of a drug addict with his loved ones that's pushed to the limits by a seemingly no-win situation. A meditation on memory and the difficulty of reconciling the happiness of the past with a present that's become too sad to bear.

The film is produced by Caroline Laishram under the banner Priyakanta Productions. Spaced Out is an unapologetic look at the plunge into the nightmare world of drugs and teen angst. The film abandons the politically correct pathway and takes us down the road without any warning.
