Plot
Thongkam and Sek, a devoted gay couple, have worked tirelessly to build a life together, including owning a house and a durian orchard in Mae Hong Son. Tragedy strikes when Sek dies suddenly in an accident, revealing the harsh reality that same-sex marriage is not legally recognised in Thailand. This leaves Thongkam with no rights to the assets he and Sek built together. The house and entire durian orchard now belong to Sek’s mother, who moves in with her adopted daughter Mo and gardener Jingna. Tensions rise in the durian orchard, filled with the sweat and labor of Thongkam and Sek. Thongkam must find a way to reclaim the durian orchard, a place filled with their love.
