In Laos, a small Southeast Asian nation surrounded by rugged mountains and verdant plains, there is a tradition that binds communities together – the national lottery. Each announcement of a lottery result sends ripples of excitement across the country, where winning numbers are more than just sequences of digits – they are a reflection of the country’s rich cultural tapestry and a symbol of hope for its citizens.
This film follows a middle-aged woman from the rural village of Phuyo, who wins a massive jackpot and becomes a national celebrity, with her face plastered on every street corner and billboard.

The film is a touching story about the power of dreams and the importance of family.

Despite a lack of economic opportunity, many residents of the landlocked nation partake in the lottery. Every draw stirs a sense of anticipation and camaraderie, with winners celebrating their good fortune and those who were not as lucky looking forward to the next one. The lottery is more than a game, however – it’s a symbol of hope and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
Dearest Sister, a haunted house movie with a twist, is directed by Mattie Do, an American who grew up in California but has maintained a close connection to her ancestors’ homeland and speaks Lao as fluently as English. The movie has a simple premise but manages to spin it into a class critique and psychological horror flick that is a step above most Thai productions released each year.
