Based on the life of Luang Pradit Pairoh (Sorn Silapabanleng) the most revered traditional Thai music master who lived during the reigns of Kings Rama V to VIII, the movie traces the life of Sorn, who picked up the ra-nad ek (Thai xylophone) mallets as a small child and played all his life. The backdrop to Sorn's life tale is the story of Thailand's classical music from its golden age during the reign of King Rama V to near extinction after the end of the absolute monarchy when the government banned it as uncivilised in the 1930s -- a time when Field Marshall Plaek Pibulsongkram tried to push the Kingdom into the modern era. The film shifts back and forth from the time when Sorn was a young man, playing in a xylophone duel with the intense Kun In, to the 1940s, when Thailand was under Japanese occupation and Sorn's playing would provide some inspiration to the oppressed citizenry of the time.
因(yin)為哥(ge)哥(ge)的(de)悲慘(can)經歷,父親反對極具音樂天賦的(de)Sorn繼續學習音樂。不過(guo)天性(xing)反叛的(de)Sorn偷偷地(di)練習,直到爸爸發現并改變了初(chu)衷,Sorn正(zheng)式的(de)音樂課程得以開(kai)始。
一次比賽(sai)中,Sorn被對手(shou)(shou)Khun打敗了(le)。沉浸在痛苦中的(de)他卻突(tu)然(ran)有(you)了(le)一次對于人(ren)生(sheng)的(de)頓(dun)悟,這(zhe)時他正好被皇家劇院邀請為首席樂(le)手(shou)(shou)。這(zhe)份職業給Sorn和Khun兩人(ren)帶來不(bu)同的(de)變化。
二次世界(jie)大戰后,泰國(guo)政(zheng)府實行“文化管制”的(de)政(zheng)策。Sorn身體(ti)力行維護(hu)傳統,這無形中(zhong)與政(zheng)府的(de)“西(xi)方化”相抵制。盡管他甚(shen)至與警察產生了(le)正面的(de)沖突,但是,在人民心中(zhong),他從(cong)來(lai)都是一(yi)個英雄。
