The Paradise of Thorns (วิมานหนาม)
In a remote, mountainous Thai village, there is a durian orchard, a paradise Thongkam and Sek have built for themselves from the ground up. After pouring in five years of hard work and sweat, their trees are blooming. While hand-pollinating the flowers to bear fruit, the two men promise an eternity together.
But their dream life is soon shattered when Sek dies suddenly in an accident. Unfortunately for Thongkam, coping with the loss of his love is only a part of his misfortune. Without his name on the land deed, Sek’s mother — who shows up with her adopted daughter in tow — is entitled to ownership of the orchard. Thongkam must now fight to reclaim the fruits of the couple’s love and labour.
