The film chronicles the historical wounds inflicted upon the Communist Party in Phatthalung and neighboring provinces, interwoven with the events of the Thai state, including instances of people being killed, pushed down hills, and burned in red tanks. Despite the passing of many decades, the story of the people's struggle endures, and the lasting scars from those events remain unhealed.
