In the heart of Cambodia’s majestic palace grounds, Princess Sovannarith, a young royal actress, discovers an ancient scroll tucked away in the palace library. Intrigued by its faded illustrations and mysterious script, she learns of the distant land of Thailand and its famed Paing Ta Khon festival.
Enthralled by the tales of masked dancers warding off evil spirits, Sovannarith feels a deep connection to the tradition. With the support of her family and the palace elders, she embarks on a journey to Thailand to experience the festival firsthand.
Arriving in the bustling streets of Loei Province, Sovannarith is awestruck by the vibrant colors and joyful atmosphere of the Paing Ta Khon celebration. Amidst the flurry of activity, she meets Krit, a talented Thai dancer who offers to teach her the intricacies of the ancient art form.
