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,父親反對極具音樂天賦的(de)(de)Sorn繼續學習音樂。不過天性反叛的(de)(de)Sorn偷(tou)偷(tou)地練習,直到爸(ba)爸(ba)發現并改變了(le)初衷,Sorn正(zheng)式(shi)的(de)(de)音樂課程(cheng)得以開始(shi)。
一次(ci)比賽中,Sorn被(bei)對(dui)手Khun打敗了。沉浸(jin)在(zai)痛苦中的他卻突然有了一次(ci)對(dui)于(yu)人(ren)生的頓悟,這時他正(zheng)好被(bei)皇家劇院邀請為(wei)首(shou)席樂手。這份職(zhi)業給Sorn和Khun兩(liang)人(ren)帶來不同的變化。
二次世(shi)界大戰后(hou),泰國(guo)政(zheng)府(fu)實行“文化管制”的政(zheng)策。Sorn身體力行維護傳統,這無形(xing)中與政(zheng)府(fu)的“西方化”相抵制。盡(jin)管他甚(shen)至與警察產生了正面的沖突,但是,在人民心中,他從來(lai)都是一個英(ying)雄。
