"To be born a man, live as a woman, and die without love..."
This Man, This Woman is a story about two Western men who fall in love with Thai women, only to find their beliefs and sexuality turned upside down.
Carrying us from Berlin to Bangkok, we are taken from the glitz of the Thai fashion world to the glare of the underworld. The film is a tried and tested formula for tragic love story, reminiscent of the great shakespearean plays, yet dramatically reveals parts of Thai culture and society that are at once intriguing, novel and exotic.
The film creates a bold statement, telling a cleverly crafted love story amidst the backdrop of Thailand's transgender underworld. Written to support a dynamic cast ensemble, the film will hit mainstream chords with a fresh eye-opening vision that will put Bangkok squarely on the world film map.
