Sheep Without a Shepherd

In the gentle foothills of northern Thailand, a modest middle‑class family enjoys the rhythm of everyday life. Their home, tucked away from the bustle of the city, is a place where simple pleasures—shared meals, school outings, and quiet evenings—create a sense of stability that feels almost timeless. Despite the tranquil scenery, an undercurrent of unease lingers, hinting that the peace of this corner of the world can be fragile.

Li, an internet technician, and his wife A Yu are the steady anchors of the household, guiding their two daughters with a blend of warmth and discipline. Their elder child, Ping Ping, radiates confidence and curiosity, while the younger An An brings a playful energy that keeps the family’s spirit lively. The parents’ bond is built on mutual respect and a shared desire to protect their children’s innocence, fostering an atmosphere where love feels both palpable and protective.

When an unexpected threat forces the family to confront a hidden danger aimed at their eldest daughter, the once‑secure world begins to crack. The parents are compelled to act swiftly, employing their resourcefulness and deep familial loyalty to shield their child from further harm. Their response sets them on a path that demands secrecy, moral calculation, and a willingness to bend the rules of ordinary life—all while striving to keep their home intact.

The film unfolds as a tense, character‑driven drama that explores how ordinary people grapple with extraordinary pressure. Its tone weaves together quiet domestic moments with a simmering sense of suspense, inviting viewers to wonder how far a family will go to preserve its unity when the stakes become unbearably personal. The story lingers on the emotional weight of choices made in the shadows, leaving the audience poised between empathy and anticipation.
