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.
因為哥哥的(de)(de)悲慘(can)經歷,父親反對極具音樂天(tian)賦的(de)(de)Sorn繼續學習(xi)音樂。不過天(tian)性(xing)反叛的(de)(de)Sorn偷偷地練習(xi),直到爸(ba)爸(ba)發現并改(gai)變了初衷(zhong),Sorn正式的(de)(de)音樂課程得以開始。
一次(ci)比賽中(zhong)(zhong),Sorn被對(dui)手(shou)Khun打敗了(le)。沉浸在痛苦中(zhong)(zhong)的他卻突然有了(le)一次(ci)對(dui)于人生的頓悟,這(zhe)時他正(zheng)好(hao)被皇家劇院邀請為首席樂(le)手(shou)。這(zhe)份職(zhi)業給Sorn和(he)Khun兩人帶來不同(tong)的變(bian)化。
二次世界大(da)戰后(hou),泰國(guo)政(zheng)府實行“文化(hua)(hua)管制”的政(zheng)策。Sorn身體力(li)行維護傳統,這無(wu)形中(zhong)與政(zheng)府的“西方化(hua)(hua)”相抵(di)制。盡(jin)管他甚至與警察(cha)產生了正面的沖突,但是(shi),在人民(min)心(xin)中(zhong),他從來都是(shi)一個(ge)英雄(xiong)。
