4 Kings

“Relationships among vocational adolescents from 4 institutions.”

Da (Arak Amornsupasiri) is a student at one of four rival technician colleges in 1990s Thailand, where fighting is how you get a place among the boys who matter. Puttipong Nakthong, working from a real story of vocational students at war, follows Da and Billy (Itkron Pungkiatrussamee) as the same fists that make their friendships make their enemies. The film treats the violence as a kind of language, the only one these boys have for saying they belong.
