Synopsis

Enlarge picture
The French film poster for Blissfully Yours.
Min is an illegal Burmese immigrant living in Thailand who's contracted a mysterious rash. His girlfriend, Roong, and an older woman, Orn, take him to see a doctor. But the doctor is unable to do anything because Min is forbidden to speak, since he might reveal he is Burmese. Nonetheless, as is customary in Thai hospitals, some medicine is prescribed.

Orn is not satisfied, however, and she stops to buy some more supplies and then goes to her husband's office, where she concocts some lotion made with from store-bought creams and chopped vegetables and instructs Roong to slather it on Min.

Roong works in a factory, painting ceramic figurines. It's painstaking work, and she really doesn't want to work that day, anyway. So she uses Min's ailment as an excuse to take off. She drives into the countryside, with the plan of having a picnic in the forest where she and Min can make love.

Orn, meanwhile, is longing for love. She steals her husband's motorcycle and goes into the jungle to meet Tommy, a worker at the factory. They have sex just off the roadside, but are interrupted when the motorcycle is stolen. Tommy chases after the thief and disappears.

Unsatisfied, Orn wanders deeper into the woods and stumbles upon Min and Roong, who have just finished making love.

Cast

  • Kanokporn Tongaram as Roong
  • Min Oo as Min
  • Jenjira Jansuda as Orn

Title sequence and soundtrack

The opening title credits roll about 45 minutes into the film, during Roong and Min's drive into the jungle. Roong turns on the car radio and the music playing is a Thai-language version of "Summer Samba (So Nice)", composed by Marcos Valle and sung by the Thai artist, Nadia.

Alternate versions

Because of its graphic sex scenes, the film was censored in Thailand, with about 10 minutes cut from the Thai DVD release.
