Synopsis


The "Happy Berry" is a group of happy - go - lucky youngsters, four girls and a boy.They work as teen fashion designers for a living and they do live their lives to the fullest.
Thunska, a young director of underground films, captures their daily life to the innermost and brings out the bittersweet revelation that may shock some “decent” audience.One cannot say they are an example of a typical modern-minded youngsters of Bangkok but they are real.What is most prominent about the film is that the camera actually gets involved
with the characters,exchanging quips and so on, the technique Thunska used in his former outing, The"Voodoo Girls".This enables the audience to touch the touching parts of their lives.
“Happy Berry” offers no moral but makes the audience start questioning on the term of morals.Do they have the right to live their lives the way they do? When Nicky, one of the girls’ boyfriend,publishes his private nude photo album and donates part of the income for charity,do we really call the charity? And does Thunska have the right to make the audience face this reality?
