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(li),父親反(fan)對極具音(yin)樂天賦(fu)的(de)(de)Sorn繼續學習音(yin)樂。不(bu)過(guo)天性反(fan)叛的(de)(de)Sorn偷偷地練習,直(zhi)到爸爸發現并改變了初衷,Sorn正式(shi)的(de)(de)音(yin)樂課程得(de)以開始。
一(yi)次(ci)比賽中,Sorn被(bei)對手(shou)Khun打敗了(le)。沉浸在痛苦中的他卻突然有了(le)一(yi)次(ci)對于(yu)人生的頓悟,這時他正好被(bei)皇家劇院邀(yao)請為首席樂手(shou)。這份職業給(gei)Sorn和Khun兩人帶(dai)來不同的變化(hua)。
二次世界大戰后,泰(tai)國政(zheng)府實行“文(wen)化管(guan)制”的政(zheng)策。Sorn身(shen)體力行維護傳統,這無(wu)形(xing)中與(yu)政(zheng)府的“西(xi)方(fang)化”相抵(di)制。盡管(guan)他甚至與(yu)警察產生了正面的沖突,但是(shi),在人民心中,他從來都(dou)是(shi)一個英雄。
