The Dai people are all religious people, and southern Buddhism is their spiritual conversion.

In traditional Dai society, boys are sent to a monastery for education at the age of six, and every man is expected to live as a monk for some time in his life, studying Buddhist scriptures and practicing Buddhist precepts to free himself from the troubles of life. This film follows and shoots the story of a Dai teenager who came out of his home to become a young monk.
