Gohan

A white stray dog lives in a Thai coastal town off leftover rice and attention from passers-by. Until a retired Japanese engineer takes the dog with him and gives him a name and a temporary home for the first time. The cute Gohan in turn gives the retired engineer back a purpose in life. When the man has to return to Japan, a new chapter begins in Gohan's life. In the shelter where he ends up, he meets a young refugee from Myanmar who, just like Gohan, dreams of a home. Three different directors each provided a separate chapter in this warm Thai feel-good film. Just like the film 'How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies' (by the same makers!), this film knows how to cast a modest, touching subject into a gripping film about connection. The stray dog that plays the old Gohan was found by director Baz Poonpiriya at a market in Northern Thailand and formed the catalyst for this heart-stealing film that became one of the biggest hits in Thai film history.
