"Does a Dog have Buddha-Nature?" tells the story of Tle, a young man who has just graduated and is called back home to the provinces by his family. He returns to confront the failure of the rice mill business, which was once thriving, and is now about to be sold off. Tle journeys back to the abandoned factory, which stands as a monument to the losses in his life. There, he not only finds the remains of his family’s business, but is also haunted by a beautiful female ghost—his ex-girlfriend from his university days in Bangkok. She is the embodiment of the city life he cannot let go of. The ghost continuously uses her charm and familiarity to capture Tle's attention, causing him to fall into the same old cycle of obsession and heartache. Tle tries to resist and focus on his work, but the ghost employs her "killer move" pulling Tle back into a trance of inescapable memories. Finally, Tle realizes that every time he gives in to his obsession with her, she vanishes, leaving him with only the understanding that she comes merely to reassert his feelings and perpetuate his entrapment in the past. Tle then slowly walks away from the abandoned factory, ready to return to his life and face the truth.
