Zee
Oui is a young man who leaves his Chinese home for Thailand in hopes
of finding a better life. However, things do not turn out well for him.
He is bullied and humiliated by everyone around him. Zee Oui is not
a well man, neither mentally nor physically. He is in the final throes
of tuberculosis and unable to work or eat.
He
also is a strong believer in homeopathic medicine. Unfortunately, the
secret holistic Chinese cure for tuberculosis is consuming the warm
heart from a small child.
This
controversial story is based on true events when Li Hui Huang (or Zee-Oui
as he was 're-named' by Thai customs officials) relocated from China
to Thailand in 1946. The poignant yet shocking movie was helmed by two
sisters, Nida Sudasna and Buranee Rachiabun. They are successful directors
in television commercial advertising. This is their only motion picture.
