Plot

A loner gunman named Mhek is assigned to kidnap a police informant named It, but Mhek has a change of heart when he is ordered to kill It. In a gunbattle with his employers, Mhek is wounded, but It grabs Mhek's gun and returns fire. The two men then escape on Mhek's motorcycle. At Mhek's rooftop hide-out, It tends to Mhek's wound and finds himself attracted to Mhek. While giving Mhek a bath one day, It initiates sexual intercourse with the hitman. Conflicted, Mhek demands that It leave him alone. It returns home to his fiancee, Sai, but is no longer interested in continuing a relationship with her. It spends his days pining over Mhek, and tracks down Mhek's brother, Mhok, and their mother. Mhok is HIV positive, as the result of sexual abuse by his and Mhek's stepfather, and their mother is dying of AIDS.

Mhek's dream is to take his mother and brother away from Bangkok to the mountains of Mae Hong Son Province. But after Mhek's mother witnesses Mhek and It kissing each other, she commits suicide by hanging herself. It's fiancee, Sai, also witnesses the kissing by Mhek and It, and terminates their marriage plans. Meanwhile, Mhek's former employers are gunning for him. It decides to take matters into his own hands, and goes to Mhek's bosses' hide-out and shoots them both. Mhek, meanwhile, is planning to meet his brother at the railway station to leave Bangkok for good. But before he can board the train, he is apprehended by the police and sent to prison.

Years pass by. Mhok dies of AIDS at a hospice in northern Thailand. It visits Mhek in prison and reveals that he was left blind in the final gunbattle with Mhek's bosses. Eventually, Mhek is released from prison, and It meets him. But before the two men can leave to start their life together, Mhek is gunned down by an assassin. It eventually gets his sight back, and the first thing he does is to look at his mobile phone, which has a picture of Mhek on it that he took many years before and a video taken by Mhek himself saying that all in long , he had love It and he will love him to his last breathe.

Mun (M) said : This the greatest movie that I've watched in my life. Gay love really there! Actually there is a philosophy's that telling us to those human whether gay nor straight nor lesbian everything is the same. Look down on each humanity because everyone need loves. When love comes is hardly to protect.

OST



Verse 1:
Just to feel your breath,
just to spend time together,
just to be friend,
but it's hard to stop feel'in it

what i still wondered,
is how you really see me.
I love you but it's hard to say so.

Pre-Chorus:
What is inside, should be kept inside.
What we have today is already good, isn't it?

Chorus:
Have you ever have a room for me?
Have you ever looked at me?
Who are we really to each other?

Have you ever have a room for me?
That's only what i wanted to know.
It bothers me but i'm afried to ask.
I'm afried that you might change.
(I'm afried it might be unbearable)

Verse2:
I'd better not asking,
since it might break my heart.

*Pre-chorus, **Chorus (2 times)
