About the film
One stray dog, three owners, comes the love that lasts fur-ever.
What it’s about
Gohan, a white dog with a pink nose, moves through three homes over ten years. His owners are a Japanese engineer facing retirement, a Burmese housekeeper without papers, and a young Thai couple forced to live apart. The dog becomes part of their most important moments, altering each life in his own way.
What hooks you
The film is directed by Nattawut Poonpiriya, Atta Hemwadee, and Chayanop Boonprakob, with a screenplay by Chayanop Boonprakob and Sopana Chaovviwatkul. The dog is played at different ages by Kori, Meechok, and Hima. Meechok was discovered on TikTok, while Hima was found at a market in Chiang Mai and chosen for his expressive face. The cast also includes Yasushi Kitajima as Hiro and Chatchai Chinnasri as Paitoon.
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys quiet, character-driven stories about the bond between people and animals, and who appreciates films that unfold over a long span of time.

Trivia
- Kori, who played Gohan as a puppy, was found through an advertisement literally right before filming began, since it was problematic to find a dog of that age in advance, as by the start of the filming process he would have already grown up, but according to the script he is only one and a half months old.
- The dog Michok, who played the young Gohan, was already a TikTok star by that time, and it was there that the film crew noticed him.
- The dog named Hima, who played the adult Gohan, was found by the director at a market in Chiang Mai and immediately taken to a veterinarian. He was cast because of his "expressive face and striking appearance," and he became the first dog approved for the film. Hima means "snow" in Thai.
