Camp from Thailand! This film harbours numerous different styles, like comedie, candysweet drama, musical and adventure movie. It manages to convince through the beautiful camera shots and the human story, in which bad luck is an often recurring theme.
A short draft of the story: A man has to join the army, forcing him to leave his pregnant wife all by herself. In the army he manages to escape, when he is offered a job as a singer.But unfortunately a return to home is not possible anymore, and the problems are piling up on top of each other. The low point must probably be his fall in a dung-hole…
An original, fresh movie, with a high camp-feel, which is entertaining till the end.
