Wimarn Narm (The Paradise of Thorns)

Reclaim to Possess, Strike to Compete
This is the story of Thongkham and Sek, a gay couple who dedicate themselves tirelessly to building a life together. Through hard work, they manage to own a home and a durian orchard—a symbol of their shared dreams and love.
Tragedy strikes when Sek suddenly passes away. Thongkham is then confronted with a harsh reality: same-sex marriage is not legally recognized in Thailand. Because of this, he has no legal rights to the property they built together. The house and the entire durian orchard are inherited by Sek’s mother, who moves in along with her adopted daughter and a gardener.
Tension begins to rise within the orchard—once filled with the love and labor of Thongkham and Sek. Now, Thongkham must find a way to reclaim his rights and regain ownership of the place that holds the memories of the life they created together.
