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)悲慘經歷,父親反對極具音(yin)樂天賦的(de)(de)Sorn繼續學習音(yin)樂。不過天性反叛(pan)的(de)(de)Sorn偷(tou)偷(tou)地練習,直到(dao)爸爸發現(xian)并改變(bian)了初衷,Sorn正式的(de)(de)音(yin)樂課程(cheng)得以開始(shi)。
一次比賽(sai)中,Sorn被對(dui)手Khun打敗了(le)。沉浸(jin)在痛苦中的他卻突(tu)然有了(le)一次對(dui)于人生的頓(dun)悟,這(zhe)時他正(zheng)好(hao)被皇(huang)家劇院邀請為首(shou)席樂手。這(zhe)份職業給(gei)Sorn和(he)Khun兩人帶來不同的變化。
二次世(shi)界大戰后,泰國政(zheng)(zheng)府實行“文化管制”的(de)政(zheng)(zheng)策(ce)。Sorn身(shen)體力行維護傳統,這無形(xing)中與政(zheng)(zheng)府的(de)“西方(fang)化”相抵制。盡(jin)管他甚至與警察產生(sheng)了正面的(de)沖突(tu),但(dan)是,在人(ren)民心中,他從來都(dou)是一個英雄。
