Krit is openly gay, his oldest and deepest friend, Win is questioning. They have grown up together. They are as close as two boys can be. The fact that one is gay means nothing to the the other. As they have grown older, getting ready to separate for college, their love is coming to a test. Is it more than that of friends or is it something deeper? Krit has fallen deeply in love with Win. He keeps a book of pressed flowers, a book of memories of the moments that they have shared. When the two finally explore their passion, what will be the result?
Originally made as a college graduate film, Down the River is a daring exploration of friendship and intimacy seldom seen from Thailand. Shot it in the countryside, forests and temples of an ancient land the film is beautiful and sweeping more tone poem than film. We can only hope that more will come from a film maker of this talent.

"Down the River"
Exploring Friendship and Intimacy
Amos Lassen
"Down the River" is one of the new releases coming from WaterBearer Films. From Thailand, this is a film made up of beautiful cinematography and a tender plot. The film was originally made as a college graduate film and was shot on the countryside, in the forests and in the temples in Thailand and these are sights that are rarely seen on film. So lovely is the film that it is really a poem that has been transcribed to the medium of cinema.
Openly gay Krit's best friend Win is in the process of questioning just who he is. The two young men grew up together and are extremely close and it does not bother Win that Krit is gay. Their friendship and love for one another, however, is put to test as they have matured and are preparing to go off to college and each will go his separate way. There is a problem in that Krit has fallen in love with Win and has been keeping a collection of souvenirs from the times they spent together and the moments they shared. The two eventually explore their feelings for each other in an intimate way. The passion that they share will determine what the future of the two will be.
This is a story that many of us have experienced yet it is rare that we have had a chance to explore the intimacy with a friend as Win and Krit do.
