There are a few gay-themed movies that have been submitted by various countries hoping to win the Best Foreign Film Oscar, and one of those in from Thailand, which has put forward How to Win at Checkers (Every Time) as it’s submission.
The US trailer for the movie has now been released, which you can see below.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Superstar Thai actor-model Toni Rakkaen headlines this striking debut feature from Korean-American writer-director Josh Kim. As the now grown Oat, he recalls his childhood experience of trying to rescue his gay older brother Ek (Thira Chutikul) from being drafted into military service. As Ek grapples with the gritty realities of life in Bangkok — working at a bar for male hustlers and sex-workers — he has also found love with his more privileged boyfriend Jai (Arthur Navarat). When the moment of truth arrives with the draft lottery these 21-year-olds must draw either a black or a red slip to possibly be conscripted into the armed forces. Who will be sent off to the service and who will get to stay home?’
Wolfe Video will bring the film the DVD and VoD in 2016.
