Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
There is an ancient Thai custom that the son of a wealthy man is entitled to two wives: one, his "major" wife, is the one he usually sleeps with and who generally provides heirs to the family; his second or "minor" wife is someone he sleeps with when his first wife won't have anything to do with him. Sometimes, the two women in this arrangement are able to live peaceably under the same roof. In this comedy, a happily married Anochai (Sombat Metanee) attempts to cope with two neighbors of his, sisters, who wish to bring that custom to life.
