A film by Nonzee Nimibutr

There's a letter for you.

How are you?

I hope you're doing fine.

I've been wanting to look you up for some time,

but every time something interferes.

I wanted to go to the previous

ceremony at the temple...

But at the last moment

something came up.

I hope to be there this time.

We can go together

to honor our dead ancestors.

Take care of yourself.

Soon I will come to visit you.

Jane, would you like something to eat?

- First I have to go look for my daughter.

I'll look after your luggage.

Fern... Fern.

Buy some ready boiled rice

and food for me, will you?

'Travelers to Baytong

can board now'

Where would you like to go?

To the Baytong crematory.

Okay, Baytong.

Please wait over there

for a moment.

Come on now, mom!

Push it faster. It's almost working.

Come on you guys!

Are you Tum?

You must be tired.

Please follow me inside.

Do you have any luggage?

Come with me.

How are...

Come, follow me.

And this is Maria.

Maria... Maria!

Maria?

Maria, what's wrong?

Lynn?

- Is everything okay?

You are early.

Oh, and I see Lynn is already there too.

Maria, did you already

greet the monk?

What kind of strange look is that?

You don't have a fever!

Oh, I get it already. You don't remember.

This is your mother's brother.

He's your uncle.

Careful, Maria.

Girls aren't allowed to touch monks.

We are here at the cremation

of the victims of the train attack.

The police reports

they don't have any leads yet.

This brutal and cruel attack still

isn't claimed by anybody.

This is Namasakorn Seesai

from Baytong.

Here we are.

Wong, I'll take Maria to her bedroom.

Okay. Ask Sang to help you

to put her in the bathtub.

Girls, quiet please.

You will wake up the neighbors.

Hey, can somebody help a woman like me

to get out of the car?

Everybody inside.

Hurry, hurry.

Please follow me inside.

Maria, the limousine is ready.

Would you like to go for a ride?

Let's go right now

or we will arrive to late at the club.

What are you listening to?

"You are what you have been,

you become what you do now"

There he is. Oh yes, he's gorgeous!

- I have found my new friend!

"Maria's Beauty Salon"

Please.

Come.

Sang, come here and help me.

Uncle monk, why aren't you wearing

your robe anymore?

Because...

I'm not a monk anymore.

Here.

There's your luggage.

You can sleep here.

In that cabinet you can find some clothes

that will fit you. I'm leaving now.

That's my daddy.

Your daddy?

This photograph was taken a long time ago

at the park on the mountain.

I miss my mother.

Uncle monk...

Did you ever meet my father?

I haven't seen him for a long time.

Maria, I'm not a monk anymore.

Just call me uncle.

Uncle monk, could we go to visit

my daddy?

Wong asks to come and see him downstairs.

This heat is terrible.

Oh, there you are.

Tum, this is Sang. She runs the salon

and used to be Jane's assistant.

You met Lynn already. She lives nearby

and is very close to Maria.

We were talking about Maria.

We must arrange something for her.

We cannot continue to appeal to Lynn

to look after her.

Have you decided to stay or not?

- I still haven't made any plans.

Why don't you stay here? You have

no obligations elsewhere, do you?

You can live here.

Jane paid the rent already.

I don't think I'll stay long.

Soon I will go back to the temple.

But you can't leave the temple

just temporarily, can you?

At least stay until

she can take care of herself.

Maria's father is still alive, isn't he?

Kasem? Lynn can tell you about

him. She knows him for quite some time.

Yes, he is still alive.

But we don't stay in touch.

Try to reach him if you can.

I have to go now.

Just call me if you need anything.

Lynn, please take care of Maria

a little longer, and look after Tum.

As a monk he is not accustomed to much.

I think Jane's cell phone is still

somewhere in the cabinet.

Sang, would you go and get it please?

- Okay.

Let's see if this works.

Yes, it's working.

Here. Call me if you need something.

This is the number of my cellular phone.

Do you know how this thing works?

Lynn, explain it to him please.

I'm leaving. Good-bye.

- See you.

I'll take these clothes

with me to the shop.

Jane, you don't need to worry.

'Nationwide search

for the perpetrators of the bomb attack'

Tum, what's wrong?

Does your stomach hurt?

You're so loud, we can hear you

downstairs. What's going on?

Oh, I see.

Sang, you can go downstairs now.

This is rather personal. Please, go.

Come over here.

I see zippers are also new to you.

But you will unlearn this soon enough.

Here we go.

Oops...

I am sorry, let's try once more.

Be strong. We're almost there.

One more pull.

That's it, free at last.

Take a deep breath.

Keep your head up a little.

A little to the left.

Move your head up a little.

Only your head, and look straight ahead.

Ready?

I almost fainted.

Everything is ready sir.

First there's your sister's inheritance

and second, there's the child.

For the child's benefit you need a court order,

and with that you can go to the bank.

As for the child

you have to decide yourselves.

What do you suggest?

You're the lawyer.

Please tell us.

We don't know anything about adoption.

For adoption you need

permission from the court.

They'll look into all the possibilities of the case.

They have to trace the father

and ask him what he thinks of the situation.

You can't adopt a child that easily.

We'll just say he died.

- You need to have proof.

In that case we say that he disappeared.

- You need proof of that too.

Bullshit! They're divorced

and she used to live with her mother.

Her dad didn't care and never

kept in touch with her.

So why do we need to prove anything?

They might be divorced,

but he still remains the father.

Where is that son of a b*tch

when you need him?

What would you like to eat? You should try

the kraw yok. It's the best in Thailand.

I never hear you say anything else.

Is everything you eat that delicious?

Okay, but this is really tasty.

You have to try it yourself.

Hello, daddy.

At last, there you are. I almost went

to the police to report you missing.

Well, she's here now?

Did you eat something already, my dear Fern?

Here take some fish. It's delicious!

I want you to take Tum downtown

and help him to buy some clothes.

But remember, no zippers.

How much will you pay me for this?

- Do I have to pay you for this too?

If you like to make some extra money...

Please,

I barely slept last night.

You should have slept at my place.

- So just shopping then?

Why?

Where would you like to take him?

Just go and buy clothes...

... or is that too difficult for you?

Have you ever seen a Bayton girl

dressed better than I am?

It's hard to find another girl with such a
