Citizen Dog (DVD)

This is a surreal and comical love story about Bangkok's little people: their struggle in search of happiness amidst a rapidly changing world. A world over-flowing with dreams, but void of love and understanding. Pod is a migrant worker from up-country who drifts from job to job: chopping his finger off in sardine factory, becoming a security guard and eventually a taxi driver. He meets Jin, a maid who has her nose perpetually buried in a mysterious white book written in foreign language that she dreams of somebody understanding. Pod is smitten. But then Jin becomes obsessed with a hippie westerner and environment movement. Somehow, Pod becomes a celebrity because he is the only guy in Bangkok without tail. If he grows one, he'll just be one of the crowd, a "Citizen Dog" alluded in the title.
