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(yin)為哥哥的(de)悲(bei)慘經(jing)歷,父親反對極具音(yin)樂天(tian)賦的(de)Sorn繼續(xu)學(xue)習音(yin)樂。不過(guo)天(tian)性(xing)反叛的(de)Sorn偷(tou)偷(tou)地練習,直到爸爸發現并改(gai)變(bian)了初衷,Sorn正式的(de)音(yin)樂課(ke)程(cheng)得(de)以開始。
一次比賽中,Sorn被(bei)(bei)對手Khun打(da)敗了(le)。沉浸在(zai)痛苦中的他卻突然有了(le)一次對于人(ren)生的頓悟(wu),這時(shi)他正好被(bei)(bei)皇(huang)家(jia)劇(ju)院邀請(qing)為首席樂手。這份職業(ye)給Sorn和Khun兩人(ren)帶來(lai)不(bu)同(tong)的變化。
二次世界大(da)戰后(hou),泰國政府實(shi)行“文(wen)化管制”的(de)政策(ce)。Sorn身體(ti)力行維護傳統(tong),這無(wu)形(xing)中(zhong)與政府的(de)“西方化”相抵制。盡管他甚至與警察產生了(le)正面的(de)沖突,但是(shi),在人(ren)民心中(zhong),他從來都是(shi)一(yi)個(ge)英雄(xiong)。
