Four school boys pray at a spirit-house shrine and vow to perform a traditional dance if they are successful in their various endeavours.
Trouble is, none of them know much about tradition nor dancing but they do believe in superstition. They seek help from an unconventional traditional-dance performer.
The coming-of-age drama is the latest effort from Kongdej Jaturanrasamee, a writer-director who's known for his quirky movies like "Midnight My Love" and "Handle Me With Care" as well as last year's award-winning psychological comedy-drama "P-047".
Also opening
"White House Down" - Roland Emmerich ("Independence Day") blows up Washington again in this disaster blockbuster. It follows another president-in-peril picture from earlier this year, "Olympus Has Fallen". Here, Channing Tatum is the protector of the prez, who's played by Jamie Foxx.
"Vehicle 19" - "Fast and Furious" star Paul Walker trades in his tuned Suburu for a non-descript minivan in this action-drama set in South Africa. He gets into a rented vehicle that was intended for someone else. Then a stranger's cellphone rings and he finds a gun under the seat. An unconscious woman rolls out of the cargo hold in the back and it's off to the races.
