When Sun turns 19, his family forces him to be ordained, without his consent, because his family believes that "becoming a monk" will remedy his lack of maturity and sense of responsibility.
Truly becoming a Buddhist requires Studying and Respecting the Teachings of the Buddha; not blindly following community and family beliefs and traditions.
Thus, the young novice will reject Buddhist Wisdom by continuing to live his carefree and irresponsible life. Notably by flirting with young Fai; a teenager who sins by her attraction to Sun, even though he wears the Kasaya - the garment of transmission, which has great symbolic importance, because it is given by the master to the new monk or nun during ordination, and thus symbolizes the spiritual bond which unites the master and his disciple - and lives in the temple.
Many old secrets and ghosts, who cannot free themselves from their suffering, will add to his lack of diligence. Because the truth has not been revealed and justice has not been served. Thus, preventing souls from finding calm and peace in enlightenment.
The film was initially banned, then created a scandal when it was released in theaters, prohibited for those under 18, in Thailand in 2015.
