    • Synopsis
    • 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.

      Based on the short stories “A t the Café Lovely ” and “Draft Day ” from the U.S. bestselling book "Sightseeing" by Rattawut Lapcharoensap, "How to Win at Checkers (Every Time)" is director Josh Kim's debut feature film.
