Plot

When her grandma tells her that she is living two lives in one, Pin (Pilaiporn Supinchompoo) doesn't understand right away. Her grandma then leaves her ten letters as her inheritance. For half a century, they have remained unopened. Grandma's only rule is that Pin must read each one in the location where it was written. Pin packs a bag and her grandma's ashes and travels to Myanmar to try and use the letters to guide herself out of her complicated life.

In Myanmar, Pin meets Kyaw Kyaw (Sai Sai Kham Leng,) a musician and the only person in Myanmar who knew her grandma. Pin asks Kaye Kaye not to flirt with her and he assents, although he knows that he can't honor this promise.

As the journey progresses, Pin discovers that her grandmother's letters are love notes from a mysterious Burmese gentleman. It is initially unclear why Pin's grandmother never opened these letters and why she kept her admirer a secret. Pin is driven to discover the truth, even if it breaks her heart again.
