Synopsis

Inspired by true events, THE LAST EXECUTIONER is the story of Chavoret Jaruboon, the last person in Thailand whose job it was to execute by gun. Jaruboon was a wild Rock n' Roller who took a "respectable" job to support the family he loved devotedly, then constantly tried to reconcile the good and bad karma that came from his decision. It is a story of life at its most beautiful, and death at its most surreal.
