You Had Me at Hello
Tone has been offered to teach Pun, a high school student who is failing to pass his exams. Their relationship develops further than expected. Pun's sister, Poon, tries to oppose it when she finds out.
In this tender Thai short film, college student Tone takes on a tutoring side gig to help high schooler Pun, who is struggling to pass his exams. What begins as a simple academic arrangement slowly blossoms into something deeper as the two boys bond over late-night study sessions and quiet moments of vulnerability. Tone, openly gay but grappling with subtle internalized shame, finds himself drawn to Pun’s earnest persistence, while Pun — shy yet determined — makes the first romantic move, surprising them both. Their fragile connection is tested when Pun’s protective older sister, Poon, discovers the truth and steps in to oppose the relationship, forcing Tone and Pun to confront family expectations, personal fears, and the very real stakes of a senior-junior romance. Filmed in soft, intimate style, this 25-minute film captures the sweetness and ache of first love, the courage it takes to be honest about who you are, and the quiet power of being seen — even when the world says you shouldn't be.
