"In this film, we put the gay character in the leading role of the story
because Moken and Gay are facing the same destiny in their lifes.
Both of them have been looking down as something DIFFERENCE from others.
However, in the beginning, the main character looks at the Moken people
through his civilizer’s eyes as well and treats them as the OTHER THING.
But at the end, this vocation on the Moken island made him realized that
both of them also have the big wounds.
The wounds that they did not make it themselves, but the society, that they were trying to be a part of, made them."
