在这部快乐草莓纪录片片中,「快乐莓」(Happy Berry)是一家位于曼谷暹罗广场的服饰店,由几个年轻人经营,店里的服饰也是他们自己设计。不过这群人真正的愿望是进军流行乐坛,但显然他们的音乐不如他们设计的服饰来得受欢迎!泰国独立制片导演彭西迪佛拉高,选择了这个属于曼谷的题材:年轻人之间的爱、嫉妒、亲密情谊和性,他们如何朝夕相处、工作在一起、睡在一起、共同经营「快乐莓」、同时面对音乐梦想的失败…,导演的近身接触,呈现了鲜为人知的泰国生活切片。
Happy Berry is the name of a Bangkok boutique run by a group of trendy Thai youths, and is the nerve centre of this fly-on-the-wall documentary (the second in a trilogy entitled "Life and Love"). The camera catches the subjects indulging in all the (post) modern lifestyle trends: drugs, kinky sex, hip-hop, fashion, exhibitionism, narcissism. They are uninhibited, the kind of youth who break down barriers in a supposedly traditional and religious society, but perhaps that's just on the surface. Behind the upbeat tone is a probing examination of values and attitudes in modern youth relationships. Happiness may be deceptive but there's certainly a lot of fun in the Happy Berry.
