In Thailand, all males turning 21 years old must participate in the annual military draft lottery. Drawing a black card grants exemption, while drawing red results in two years of military service. On the morning of his draft lottery, Oat reflects back on his childhood -- when as a child, his older brother Ek faced the possibility of being drafted himself. Unable to convince Ek to do whatever he can to change his fate, young Oat takes matters into his own hands, resulting in unexpected circumstances.

Notes
I enjoyed this film as much for the Bankok setting as the plot line -- As is often the case with foreign film settings, what it says about Thailand is as important as the characters' stories -- This is a fine film that should have gotten more support -- Given the general quality of the Netflix offerings, I was surprised to find it there.
