The Paradise of Thorns
Grief, betrayal and a ruthless fight for love and survival collide in the cinematic epic The Paradise of Thorns, starring Thai superstar Jeff Satur.
In Boss Naruebet Kuno’s gripping debut, Thongkam’s world shatters when his partner Sek suddenly dies. Grieving and unprotected by unjust laws that fail to acknowledge their relationship, Thongkam faces the loss of their home and cherished durian orchard. When Sek’s mother and Mo, her scheming adopted daughter, seize the property, Thongkam risks everything to reclaim what’s rightfully his. Featuring stunning cinematography that showcases the beautiful Thai landscape, this riveting film explores love, loss and the spirit of survival.
