SYNOPSIS
Dawan, a young,14 years old village girl who
lives in Thailand, wins a scholarship to study in a
city school. Her brother, Kwai who is 13, places
second and is initially jealous, causing a conflict
between the two previously-close siblings. This
aggression is further worsened by Dawan's father,
who feels that the city is no place for a female.
Dawan faces obstacles at every turn, and
eventually overcomes these obstacles and proves
to herself and to others that she is fully capable of
handling the scholarship and the responsibility it
entails.
