Starring Jeff Satur and Pongsakorn Mettarikanon as a same-sex couple, it explores love and loss in a farming community.
SINGAPORE –In the Thai drama The Paradise of Thorns, lovers are like durian farmers – both plant seeds and carry out acts of nurturing.
And even after that period, there are more hazards to overcome – the love of your life might be repulsive to someone else close to you, she says. The property goes to Sek’s mother Saeng , who moves in with her adopted daughter Mo and gardener Jingna . But Thongkam is not willing to give up – if the law is not on his side, he is willing to work outside of it.Satur is known for his role in the action-romance drama KinnPorsche The Series and his music career, while Pongsarkorn has worked in television series such as the romance Khun Chai Rachanon and the romantic comedy film The Cupids .
The central conflict in the story occurs between Thongkam and the relatives of his dead partner because same-sex couples in Thailand lack the legal protections given to married couples. Director Boss Kuno, known for his acclaimed LGBTQ+ television series I Told Sunset About You , makes his feature film debut with The Paradise Of Thorns.
The Paradise Of Thorns is set in Mae Hong Son, an area in north-west Thailand next to the border with Myanmar. The film-makers researched the area to accurately represent local culture. Vanridee says: “We couldn’t have imagined the real conditions until we went there and observed for ourselves.”
