Mon is a fantastic volleyball-player, but no team will take him on, because he is gay. Jung, his best friend, has gone thru the same experience, but he is still optimistic. Their chance has come, when the provincial government appoints Bee as head coach and entrusts him with the task of building a promising team. The true story of a volleyball-team of mostly drag queens that competed for championship in the Thai men’s league in 1996. They fought to win nevermind broken fingernails, smeared make-up and heartsickness.

The international festival hit won many awards and to this day is one of the most successful films in Thailand. At exground filmfest 14 in 2001 this highlight was the no. 1 audience favorite.
