A Thousand Fires is a tale of family, oil, and life cycles in Myanmar's hand-drilled oil fields. Parents Htwe Tin and Thein Shwe work hard to give their children a better future, their lives governed by a web of karma and astrology. All their hopes are pinned on their youngest son - Zin Ko Aung - and when he leaves home to make his own life, his parents must learn to let their children go.

People's life

Nice movie if you like to see something about the life's of people in Myanmar. I've been there on a trip in 2017 and it's hard to imagine how they talk to each other, what their problems are and what makes them happy if you're a tourist. This movie gave me a better idea about this.
