    • Synopsis
    • After hearing an alarming prophesy from a well-known seer that his mother does not have much time to live, Sakol proposes a 1-day pilgrimage to 9 temples as a solution. Just 2 weeks before her birthday, the authoritative Sakol not only takes his weak mother on the trip, but he asks the whole family to join. Of differing ages and agendas, they each carry the promise of accumulating more merit by the power of 9, the magic number that many Thais believe to bring good luck.
