Regretfully At Dawn

In a small province in Thailand, the life of the former Thai veteran, Yong, casually seems like a typical old man. Even though he currently feels unwell, Yong spends every day with the dream of building a tree-house solely with his own hand, and raising an intelligent niece.

At his house, there is a black Thai dog called Rambo. It has peculiar eyes to see mystery of the world after death and special senses in connecting with the past.

One morning, the first light of the day has lasted longer than usual. The morning sun pauses the moment; it would not come up from the horizon. Yong senses the coming of death.
