- Synopsis
- In Thailand, all males turning 21 years old must participate in the military draft lottery. Drawing a black card grants exemption. Drawing a red card results in two years of military service. When his older brother Ek faces this possibility of being drafted, 11-year old Oat must grow up and learn to take care of himself.
  Adapted from the US bestselling book "Sightseeing" by Rattawut Lapcharoensap, the fresh feature film directorial debut of Josh Kim’s HOW TO WIN AT CHECKERS (EVERY TIME) tells the coming-of-age drama of two brothers struggling to survive and stay together in a land plagued by social and economic inequality.
