    • Synopsis
    • Donut, the Director, plays a young woman who sets out on a journey to visit the places to which the late King Bhumibol travelled, from Lausanne to Paris where he met the Queen Sirikit for the first time at Fontainebleau, and back to Thailand when the Royal Couple returned here. She travelled to Europe to film on three occasions, painstakingly gathering rare archival material from the United States, England, Switzerland and also Thailand. Narrated by the director herself, the documentary also features the voices of actress Sansanee Wattananukul and actor Teerapat Sajakul. The film also includes some never-before-seen footage of the King’s last day in Lausanne in 1951 and screenshots of the letters sent by the late King to his private tutor.
