What happens

Legend of Sudsakorn (Thai: สุดสาคร) is a 2006 Thai fantasy film. It is based on a story from Phra Aphai Mani, a 30,000-line epic poem by Thailand's best-known poet Sunthorn Phu. Charlie Trairat, the young male lead from Fan Chan, portrays the title character, a boy who is the son of a mermaid who is sent on a magical quest to find his father, a prince. It is a mix of live action and computer-generated imagery. The story was previously adapted in the 1979 Thai animated feature, The Adventure of Sudsakorn. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
