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(wei)哥哥的(de)悲慘經歷,父親(qin)反(fan)對極具音(yin)樂天(tian)賦的(de)Sorn繼(ji)續(xu)學習音(yin)樂。不過天(tian)性反(fan)叛的(de)Sorn偷(tou)(tou)偷(tou)(tou)地練習,直到爸爸發現并改變了初衷,Sorn正式的(de)音(yin)樂課程得以開始。
一次比賽中(zhong),Sorn被對手Khun打敗了(le)。沉浸在痛苦(ku)中(zhong)的(de)他(ta)卻突然(ran)有(you)了(le)一次對于人生的(de)頓悟,這時他(ta)正好被皇(huang)家劇院邀請為(wei)首席(xi)樂手。這份職業給Sorn和Khun兩人帶來不同的(de)變(bian)化(hua)。
二(er)次世界(jie)大戰后,泰(tai)國(guo)政(zheng)府實(shi)行“文化管制”的(de)政(zheng)策。Sorn身體(ti)力行維護傳統,這無形中與政(zheng)府的(de)“西方(fang)化”相抵制。盡管他甚至與警察產(chan)生(sheng)了(le)正面(mian)的(de)沖突(tu),但是,在人(ren)民心中,他從(cong)來都是一個英(ying)雄(xiong)。
