At the age of sixty, Lung Neaw (Uncle Neaw) finds himself retired from his life as a rice farmer in a small village in the Northern Thai Province of Chiang Mai, away from the chatter and noise of recent political upheaval and demand for democratic reforms in the capital Bangkok. In following Lung Neaw in his daily life we see him living off the land the he has known since he was born: fishing, hunting, and foraging for herbs and vegetation in the open fields and forests nearby his home. He goes about the chores of living, idled time filled with the practicalities of a rural existence, spending the moments in between with neighbours: the local sage, the ailing and aged elephant king deep in the valley, the children who play in his front yard, and the youngsters at the local watering hole. Lung Neaw is known in the surrounding villages and his own as the man without enemies - a fair man without judgment and a modest man living with humility. We have to ask: “What more can one want when one is already living in Paradise?” In this moment when many people are asking for equality, opportunity, self determination and for Democracy in the hands of the people, we find in Lung Neaw both answers and questions to these demands. We find in him the sustenance of self-awareness and sufficiency in compassion and humility. We find in him the narrative of the real and the simplicity of each day.
