Some companies are still using film reels. They are hired for local events such as merit ceremony (งานบุญ), funerals (งานศพ)... Advertisement in the village is done through a megaphone. It costs 30 THB for adults and 15 THB for children to watch movies. An outdoor cinema company is having difficulties in business. Finally, it gets hired for a spiritual ceremony. Another outdoor cinema company gets hired for the same spiritual ceremony (แก่บน). Fee is 6,000 THB for two movies. The two outdoor cinema companies end up at the same location and argue together. The father has to separate them. Both men, Taen and Kaen, love the same lady, Prao (พราว อาร์สยาม), so they are in competition. The father recommends his son not to fight and to let Prao make her choice. Local ruffians led by Kaen (เดียว ชูพงษ์) ask money from the outdoor company. They get beaten by Taen (เอฟ นนทิพัทธ์). Prao, daughter of the outdoor cinema company, is back in the village. She wishes to take over her father, but he is reluctant. Young lady Prang is upset as she loves Taen also. Prao accompanies Taen for outdoor cinema sessions but business is difficult. Few people come to see movies. Prao wishes that outdoor cinema (หนังกลางแปลง) remains in countryside as it can help to educate youngsters if good and useful movies are shown. Kaen and his men are back to disrupt Taen's outdoor cinema projections but Prao chases them away. Kaen is sad as he also loves Prao. Prao is thinking about ways to make the business more successful by using social media. Prao wishes to move from film to digital, so she convinces her father as the business is decreasing. Currently they are showing old movies in 35mm format such as Anaconda and ปลุกมันขึ้นมาฆ่า from Panna Rittikrai, so it is not enough to attract a big audience as new movies are released in digital format only. Meanwhile Kaen is suspected by the village leader as money and a Buddha statue has disappeared from the local Buddhist temple. A high society lady hires two cinema screens for a robe offering (ทอดกฐิน) event. As the father has only one screen, he hires his competitor screen also. During the event, two ruffians steal expensive bags from ladies. Kaen helps to stop but he is injured. Taen intervenes also and the two ruffians are recognised as former novices in the Buddhist temple. The village leader apologizes to Kaen. The company now projects digital movies having copyrights. Prao has to go back to Bangkok to finish her studies. The father wishes to keep the film reels as it will show to younger generations how outdoor cinema was. Prang takes good care of Kaen.

Thai movie ฉากและชีวิต - Scene and Life was released in year 2018 and lasts 1h26mn. Movie director is Boonsong Nakphoo. The movie features many small scenes of rural life in a remote Isan village. Isan is the Northeastern region of Thailand. This region is still heavily relying on agriculture and a big part of its workforce is living in big cities such as Bangkok. Phi Son is living a simple day by day life in the village. His girlfriend is leaving him as she is going to work in Bangkok. An older farmer has a crisis while putting insecticide on rice. As most of the people are gone to work in cities, there is nobody to help him. Only old people and children stay behind in the village. Children interview an old lady about the life in the village before. Nowadays farmers only grow rice species giving harvest in 3 to 4 months and use a lot of pesticide. A man is selling the house in which his father is still living as it is made of old teak, so it has some reselling value. A man has family issue as his wife left him. His car runs of petrol and stops by near a Buddhist temple. Nobody from his family is willing to help him as he calls them by phone. Only the temple abbot gives help, i.e. allowing him to sleep, preparing a bed for him, giving him food for breakfast, giving him petrol for him to continue his journey. A teacher is dedicated to his job despite the children seem not to care. In parallel he needs to manage his own kids. A father (Boonsong Nakphoo) is teaching his son to cook but it is a disaster as the meal is not good. Youngsters are not willing to cook by themselves anymore while their mother is working in Bangkok. So a vegetable merchant has poor business as most people are buying cooked meals. A father is sending his daughter to the bus station as she is going to work in Bangkok to pay debts.
