Burmese filmmakers face persecution after the February 2021 military coup . They both met while they were smoking outside the hospital and sang "What to Happened to Love in Myanmar" to clear their minds. The first film, Mi, was written and directed by Na Gyi. Traps were set at many events; This desert work seems simple. However, in Burma, LGBTQ + people are subjected to legal torture, ill-treatment and Imprisonment. It is very extreme and bold in the face of government-sponsored violence.

In addition, it includes a scary background story. Earlier this year, before the junta took control of the country, one of the key players, director and Paing Phyo Thu, had been in hiding since being accused of using it in real life. Little is known about what happened to Eaindra Kyaw Zin, the main character in the film, who was arrested and jailed in February at the same time as their anti-coup activists. It is hoped that the film's ability to focus on the plight of people in these oppressed and endangered Asian countries, especially if the film were shown at human rights events. It retreats from the rear headers.[4]

Plot

Moe (Eaindra Kyaw Zin), the daughter of a wealthy family who built her own successful business, was devastated to learn that she could soon develop lungcancer. At first sight, she tried to commit suicide, by cutting her wrist.[5]

Fortunately, her husband, Ye Moe (Aung Myint Myat), rushed her to the hospital. She met Way Way (Paing Phyo Thu), a teenager with congenital heart disease. A natural rebel who loved rock music - Anglophone bands like Nirvana in her native language; Way Way was a vicious trouble she didn't care about until she died. She spoke positively and rudely to her brother Min Han (Myanmar Idol's host Kyaw Htet Aung). Poor Min Han cared for her since her parents' shipwreck and abandoned his dream of becoming a medical photographer in hopes of finding a cure for Way Way.

As each woman's health deteriorates, her husband has no reason to inherit her business. Her father is sure to inherit. But in order to take good care of the police, Moe had to divorce her first. That is why Way Way claims to be so cruel to his brother. In either case, these components need to be paved for the final act; At that time, the two women were pure friends and set out on a journey to see the famous local beauty of the Sea of Clouds. They did not really kiss the film at the last minute, but it was enough before the February coup that endangered the filmmakers.

Enough given that Way Way's character is an aspiring photographer, The shooting here is quite lovely; It explores ventilation, which is full of negative areas that are often disturbed by warm sunlight. Even if the script is too intense, there is warmth between the two leaders who are committed to their performance.[6]
