The Blade She Chose

About this Short Film

The story follows the life of Rinlada, a single mother and a dedicated seamstress at a local Bangkok repair shop. Her life is shattered when a drunk driver strikes her and her young daughter. The accident leaves Rin paralyzed from the waist down and her daughter with a severe brain condition called Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)—a tangle of abnormal blood vessels that risks a fatal hemorrhage. Faced with an expensive life-saving surgery for her child, Rin finds an unexpected spark of hope when a fencing coach brings a damaged uniform to her shop. This encounter leads Rin to embrace wheelchair fencing, channeling her resilience into the sport until she reaches the world championship to secure her daughter’s future.
