Storyline

A mysterious, obsessive-compulsive, suicidal Japanese man living in Bangkok, Thailand, is thrown together with a Thai woman through a tragic chain of events. The woman is everything he is not. He is a neat freak who keeps his dishes washed and his books neatly stacked and categorized. She dresses like a slob, smokes pot and never picks anything up. It's a match that somehow works, though. Slowly and entertainingly, more is revealed about the Japanese man and why he's suicidal and living in Bangkok. Written by Wise Kwai

Trivia

The Thai title means, literally, "Love Story, a Little, a Lot" with a play of words on "Noi" and "Nid" which means "few" and "small" respectively. The two words are also the names of the sisters in the movie so the title can also means "Love Story of Noi and Nid, a Lot" (mahasan = infinitely a lot, a great amount). Another interpretation can be "A small/little Love Story that is a lot". See more »
