Synopsis |
|
Based on the true story of
Thailand's famed transgender
kickboxer, Beautiful Boxer is a
poignant action drama that punches
straight into the heart and mind of
a boy who fights like a man so he
can become a woman. Believing he's a
girl trapped in a boy's body since
childhood, Parinya Charoenphol
(affectionately known as Nong Toom
in Thailand) sets out to master the
most masculine and lethal sport of
Muay Thai (Thai boxing) to earn a
living and to achieve his ultimate
goal of total femininity. Touching,
funny and packed with breathtaking
Thai kickboxing sequences, Beautiful
Boxer traces Nong Toom's childhood,
teenage life as a traveling monk and
grueling days in boxing camps. Shot
in 9 provinces across Thailand and
in Tokyo, the film also features a
series of explosive matches where
Nong Toom knocks out most of his
opponents in Thailand and Japan.
