What happens

Dew, known in Thai as Dew, Pai Duai Kan Na (ดิว ไปด้วยกันนะ 'Dew, let's go together') is a 2019 Thai drama film directed by Chookiat Sakveerakul and released by CJ Major Entertainment. It stars Sukollawat Kanaros, Sadanont Durongkavarojana, Pawat Chittsawangdee, Darisa Karnpoj and Yarinda Bunnag. The film tells the story of Pob and Dew, teenage boys who develop feelings for each other amid the prevailing homophobic attitudes of 1990s Thai society, but then become parted. Two decades later, Pob, now married, returns to his hometown as a teacher, and meets a female student who reminds him of their past unfulfilled relationship. The film received muted audience interest and performed modestly at the box office. Critics commended the acting but found the screenplay—a remake of the 2001 South Korean film Bungee Jumping of Their Own—lacking. Sadanont won best actor awards at the Suphannahong and Bangkok Critics Assembly awards, while Pawat also won best supporting actor at the latter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
