Somboon. A tale of eternal love

This film tells a heartfelt love story between Somboon and Miad, an elderly couple living in the suburban Thailand in the last days of married life. 

Their mutual love has lasted for over 45 years even though their marriage was pre-arranged by their parents. 

The film focuses on the period when Grandma Miad is disabled because of her acute kidney failure. But Somboon is still by her side and always taking good care of her until her last day.
