I particularly liked this movie, which deals with the delicate subject of two gay dads bringing up a child in a society, where homosexuality is still a stigma, and where kids at school are hard and unforgiving as everywhere, but mostly live following the values and stereotypes they have heard at home. There are multiple aspects to this story, and what I particularly liked is the lack of judgement or prejudice from the film director. He shows us the lifes of all the protagonists, with their beliefs, their doubts, their love and what they respect. Of course, central to this story is this little boy who grows in a family different from others, but we learn he is actually luckier than some other people in the movie. He has love, and love is the only thing you need to build your life, whether it comes from one mum, one dad, two of each, two of the same, or even recomposed families as it happens sometimes. We also learn that life is not linear, and that what you have thought you have built, can be taken away at one point, if you are not careful to protect it and nurture it. Finally it's a universal story since the problems and the joys that this family is going through in modern Thailand, are the same everywhere, to varying degrees. It will take years for laws to change, but also many more years for society to be more tolerant towards one another and recognize that the core values which make a family function, are not related to gender or number of parents... I hope this movie will help change people's hearts. I truly recommend this movie, which will make you realize the chance you've had, or the chance you could have had when growing up. It will give you hope that one day, all families will be accepted however they are built, and celebrated for the love they bring to all their members.
