Review
This draft script will reflect the dimension of change and exchange of beliefs among people of different ages. Through the story line that tells a family of 9 members traveling together in a van from Bangkok in order to make merit to 9 temples in the central region.
The whole story begins in the evening of one day, and the whole next day, the family will make merit to nine (9) temples from dawn until dusk when returning to Bangkok.
With the goal of having the story line, it leads the audience to explore relationship, idea, attitude, hope, happiness, suffering, and perspective of life and spirit of the family that differs according to gender, age and role in each family with a relaxing atmosphere and hidden humor but still full of deeply complex social aspects.For information about HAF18, please visit the official website www.haf.org.hk
