Summary

Comedy ::  

The movie is based on a true story of a volleyball team that unexpectedly won the 28th National Volleyball Championship at Nakonsawan.

What set this Lumpang team apart from other teams was that most members were openly gays.  Only Chai, the team's captain, was a straight man.  The rest of the team, which included Jung, Mon, Nong, Pia and Wit, were all gays.

Despite the unusual assemble, they were able to beat the odds and won the local competition to represent the volleyball team of  Northern Thailand.  They played with styles that both entertained and excite the audience.

Months later, they were back together to prepare for the National competition.  Calling themselves "Iron Lady, " the team had to overcome prejudices from judges, other teams and within the team itself.  

Having determination and open-mindedness was the only thing that would help keeping the team triumph over obstacles and achieved their goal.

PS. This is a funny film the whole family can enjoy.  The homosexuals are portrayed as real humans, not just silly one dimensional characters you see in most Thai lakons.  Tik plays the only straight lead character in the team ::whew::
