There is not really such a good witness of the old life in the northeastern region as the one that represents this movie. The movie follows different families living on a village, showing us different conflicts, problems and traditions that the people use to face and follow. The story is set in a very dry year, showing the consequences of the lack of rain for the people, and so how did they manage to live.
Some of the topics we can see here, is the community conflicts between different ethnics, sex and marriage, haunting animals, fishing, singing, praying, dancing, flirting and all this things i should not mention, that are the culture, but i do, because its obligatory to write more lines to send a review...
The "morlam" music fits perfectly to give a blue tone to the story. And there are some nice details about the thaification in Isaan, like the children singing the silly nationalistic songs that they learn in school.
Very recommended to those interested in Isaan farmers and village life, as the other movie of the director: Tongpan, witch is easier to find in the net than this one.
