The movie
In no time at all, Puchit loses everything : his wife, his job, his car. Exhausted, he receives a providential phone call. The caller promises him a big reward if he manages a simple challenge : smashing a fly. Mission easily accomplished. New call : this time the caller offers to increase his earnings if he swallows the fly he has just killed. Intrigued by this mysterious correspondent who seems to know everything about him, Puchit gets hooked on the game and takes up more and more extreme and illegal challenges... Produced by the director of Ong Bak (2003), 13 Beloved is adapted from a Thai comic book. Its horrific, as well as crazy and also comical atmosphere, mixed with a critical point of view, has already won over audiences at several festivals.
