Write a short summary of what happens in the film

A young teacher in a remote village takes his mother, an Alzheimer’s patient, everywhere with him. She naps at the back of the classroom as her son teaches and has a messy lunch alongside other students as her son tries to feed her. Some parents are not happy having an old woman in school. The headmaster calls a parents’ meeting to discuss the issue. He explains that the mother is the only family member the young teacher has, and she is his entire world. This is the reason why the young teacher turns down all other job offers and stays in this village so that he can keep his teaching job and looks after his mother. The headmaster asks the parents to think about it and if they still wish not to see the old lady at school they should sign the petition.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

Filial piety, or gratitude towards one’s parents, is one of the most powerful driving forces in the social fabric of Thailand and indeed much of Asia. As Thailand modernizes and adopts increasingly Western attitudes, CPG wants to remind all Thais of their core responsibilities towards their parents.
