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(ge)哥(ge)的悲慘經歷,父親(qin)反(fan)對極(ji)具音(yin)樂天賦(fu)的Sorn繼續學習音(yin)樂。不過(guo)天性反(fan)叛的Sorn偷(tou)偷(tou)地(di)練習,直(zhi)到爸(ba)爸(ba)發現并改變(bian)了初衷,Sorn正式的音(yin)樂課程(cheng)得(de)以開(kai)始。

二(er)次世(shi)界大戰后,泰國政府(fu)實行(xing)(xing)“文化(hua)管制(zhi)”的(de)(de)政策(ce)。Sorn身體力(li)行(xing)(xing)維護傳統,這無形中(zhong)(zhong)與(yu)政府(fu)的(de)(de)“西(xi)方(fang)化(hua)”相抵(di)制(zhi)。盡管他(ta)(ta)甚至(zhi)與(yu)警察產生(sheng)了(le)正面的(de)(de)沖突(tu),但是,在人民心中(zhong)(zhong),他(ta)(ta)從來都是一個(ge)英雄。
