Synopsis:

Snow, a gifted painter and singer girl, is caught between two deep loves: Wira, her passionate childhood love and striving drummer, and Thi Ha, a music-lover gentleman who truly understands her soul.
This film’s music and performances were captured 100% live on set. The actors are real musicians who played and sang in real-time—nothing was pre-recorded or dubbed. While bringing immense creative challenges, this approach preserves the raw energy of live performance. This is not just a film to watch, but to listen to and feel the heartbeat of a story unfolding.
