内容介绍

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.

因为哥哥的悲惨经历，父亲反对极具音乐天赋的Sorn继续学习音乐。不过天性反叛的Sorn偷偷地练习，直到爸爸发现并改变了初衷，Sorn正式的音乐课程得以开始。

一次比赛中，Sorn被对手Khun打败了。沉浸在痛苦中的他却突然有了一次对于人生的顿悟，这时他正好被皇家剧院邀请为首席乐手。这份职业给Sorn和Khun两人带来不同的变化。

二次世界大战后，泰国政府实行“文化管制”的政策。Sorn身体力行维护传统，这无形中与政府的“西方化”相抵制。尽管他甚至与警察产生了正面的冲突，但是，在人民心中，他从来都是一个英雄。
