Sunset at Chaophraya (Thai: คู่กรรม, Khu Kam) in 2013 romantic-war-drama film directed by Kittikorn Liasirikun. Adapted from the novel Khu Kam by Thommayanti, the story is a love triangle, set in World War II-era Thailand, and depicts the star-crossed romance between an Imperial Japanese Navy officer and a Thai woman who is involved with the Free Thai resistance. It was released on April 4, 2013. One of top five box office hits (Thailand film) in 2013.[1]
Starring Nadech Kugimiya as Kobori, a Japanese Military Officer who is in the Japanese troop that invaded Thailand, and Oranate D. Caballes as Angsumalin (Hideko), a young Thai woman whose feelings towards Kobori are complicated by her strong, anti-Japanese sense of nationalism and her intention to romantically commit to a childhood friend upon his return from abroad.
The story depicts first love from the perspective of young characters, and how it affects their lives and their aspirations.[2]
Kugimiya and Caballes made their film debut.[3]
