This film is based on a novel by Kritsana Asoksin, published in Satrisan magazine between 1969 and 1970. It tells the story of Phim and Wannree, a couple living with their two growing children. When Pudkrong, a young widow who is Wannree's best friend, becomes close to them and has an affair with Phim, their once peaceful family falls apart. It has been adapted into numerous films and television dramas.
