About the Film

Thongkam and Sek, a devoted gay couple in Mae Hong Son, build a life together with a house and a durian orchard. After Sek’s sudden death in an accident, Thongkam discovers that same-sex marriage is not legally recognized in Thailand, leaving him with no rights to their assets. The house and orchard are inherited by Sek’s mother, who moves in with her adopted daughter Mo and gardener Jingna. As tensions rise over the orchard, Thongkam struggles to reclaim the land filled with his and Sek’s shared memories.
