Where We Belong

Sue is a girl who lives in a small village in Chantaburi province, Thailand. She gets a scholarship to study in Finland, but when the time comes, she has all sorts of doubts about her destiny. Her friend Belle, on the other hand, doesn’t plan to leave the village, but helps her make the preparations before she leaves. We can see them both on their motorbikes around town to go and say goodbye to friends and family, although Sue keeps questioning her decisions and everything around her.
