Tame (2026)

Set in the ancient kingdom of Sukhothai, Tame follows Khwan, an orphaned girl raised within a remote village defined by the brutal traditions of bull training and fighting. Held captive by her own family due to societal expectations and superstition, Khwan’s life takes a pivotal turn as she comes of age. Driven by a desire for freedom and justice, she seeks the aid of an ancient spirit, hoping to harness its power to break the chains of her oppressive upbringing.

The film explores themes of cultural heritage, gender roles, and the cyclical nature of violence through the lens of historical fantasy. By intertwining the raw intensity of bull wrestling with spiritual mysticism, the narrative offers a unique perspective on resilience and the quest for autonomy in a rigidly structured society. The story highlights Khwan’s internal struggle between respecting her roots and forging her own path.
