Mon-rak Transistor

Synopsis Pan is rotting away in a Thai prison, watched over by an old man from his village, who tells his misadventures: Pan was a charming young man with a promising future, a talented singer, engaged to the lovely Sadow. Called up for military service, he abandoned his pregnant wife, then deserted the army to seek his fortune, only to become the slave of a crooked manager he ended up killing... Then came the theft of a valueless necklace which proved his undoing: a cruel sense of fate hovers over this romantic, musical melodrama, this ”sweet and tender piece of candy with a satirical poison in the center.” (Pen-ek Ratanruang)
