Kae is a young man who learns the art of Thai shadow play from his father and grows up to become a respectable shadow player. His love for the art is as immense as his love for Phayom, the daughter of a local aristocrat. But Kae's love suffers a blow because Phayom’s father despises his profession as a lowly artist, and forces Phayom to marry another rich man. Struck with rage and grief, Kae decides to embark on a final move that will unite him with his lover.
Directed by Anukul Jarotok, The Shadow Lovers leans on a strong ensemble — Prangthong Changdham, Jaturong Kolimart, Suwatchai Sutthima — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2004.
