Plot
Taep (Andy Tangkaprasert) returns to his father's village after ten years away. He meets Ream (Helen Nima) in the village; he offers his umbrella to keep her dry when it starts raining. They exchange coy glances. When he arrives at the docks, he learns that Ream is the second wife of his father, Chief Chaung (Sorapong Chatree). Taep moves in with his "parents," and things are uncomfortable: lots of strained silences or barbed comments from Chief Chaung. A braver film would have made Chaung a human being, but this is not a brave film, so Chaung is a monster: Taep has to listen in silence as Chaung rapes Ream night after night, and Chaung belittles his son at every opportunity. Worse, at least in the eyes of the film, is that Chaung had promised to build Ream a boat, and it sits on the beach, half-finished.
