| In 1949, a young student finds his life upturned.
Expelled from Thailands top university, Archin Panjabhan is
sent away from the city by his father to the wilderness of southern
Thailand. Arriving at a mining camp, Archin embarks on a four
year odyssey of self-discovery, a university course in life
that will mark the end of his youth and return him a gift far
greater. There on a tin dredge, among the bosses and miners,
he will learn to live to the simple rhythms of river and season,
work and play, love and loss. There Archin will find, finally,
himself and graduate a man. Because sometimes, higher learning
can be found in the ground beneath your feet. . |
