Hawaii Internatioanl Film Festival Best Film Winner, 1985. Join us as this rare film returns to Honolulu again after 30 years.
An early work by one of Thailand’s most important directors, Euthana Mukdasnit’s magical film is about Muslim kids in a relatively unvisited part of Southern Thailand, who earn a living of sorts smuggling bags of rice on trains across the border into Malaysia. It centers on Huyan, a gifted teenager forced to drop out of school when he becomes his family's breadwinner; the smuggling trade offers him lessons in survival, friendship and rivalry. The kids (non-professionals, of course) are brilliantly directed and the camerawork has the agility and grace of early Raoul Coutard, but Euthana's real triumph is that he makes the unfamiliar milieu and people as emotionally vital as they are credible. The film is sweet, unquenchably moral and very beautiful.†- Tony Rayns
