Villagers go to see the local master (อาจารย์). Some women have disappeared in the village. The master asks them to look for the women before it is too late. They search for the whole night, but cannot find any. On the next day, they face some dark men wearing red clothes. The group has split and Boonmee is looking by himself. He hears traditional music. Boonmee (ศักราช ฤกษ์ธำรงค์), looking for his younger sister, checks the origin of the music and he ends up in a cave. Women wearing traditional clothes are dancing. Their leader (จ้าวแม่) has a moon on the forefront. Boonmee is arrested. The leader tells him that all intruders are killed as nobody can enter in the hidden city (เมืองลับแล), where only women are living. Boonmee is thrown in a jail to die without food and water. A young lady, Aminda, brings him some fruits, but Boonmee refuses to eat them. Aminda mentions his sister has died already. The leader orders Boonmee to be killed immediately as he is the first man to enter the hidden city. Men are dangerous for the hidden city. Aminda releases Boonmee and they flee together. The guards, bringing the poison, find the prisoner has disappeared and inform the leader. Aminda is identified as the traitor. Meanwhile Somsak Chaisongkram, father of Boonmee, is grieving as he lost his two children. Boonmee and Aminda finally arrive in the village. Young lady Panien is upset that her love is taken away by Aminda and slaps her. Boonmee’s friends are also upset by his behavior. During the full moon time, the leader orders Aminda through hypnotherapy to strangle Panien. The villagers believe Panien gets suicide as she was heartbroken that Boonmee has a new girlfriend. Another corpse was found a few days later. The villagers ask help from Ajarn. The village leader links those events to the arrival of Aminda in the village. The woman leader asks Aminda to kill the master, being an enemy. Villagers are upset and make a trap to capture the culprit (ปิศาจ). At nightime, they see Aminda going out and they shoot and injure her. The village leader really believes Aminda is the culprit, but seeing her injured and going out to find Boonmee, he understands Aminda is not guilty. The full moon becomes red again and the women leader orders Aminda to kill the village leader. Aminda is not feeling well as she knows she is responsible for those deaths. The father still suspects Aminda. Today is the last mission for Aminda. Aminda needs to choose who to kill, i.e. Boonmee or Boonmee’s father. The women leader prevents Boonmee from helping his father. Only pure women are living in the hidden city. When Boonmee wakes up, his father is dead. Because Boonmee went inside the cave, he caused suffering to the villagers including his own family. Aminda also receives punishment. She is transformed into a skeleton.
