Plot

When grandma told her that she has two lives in one Pin (Pilaiporn Supinchompoo) doesn’t understand right away. Her grandma left ten letters as inheritance- They have never been opened for half of a century. Grandma set a rule to read it in the location it has been written only. Pin packed a bag with her grandma's ashes to make a journey to a land she never imagined herself to be-Myanmar.

Maybe these unexpected letters will help guide her out of her complicated life.

In Myanmar, Pin meets Kyaw Kyaw (Sai Sai Kham Leng) who is musician and the only soul in Myanmar who knew her grandma. Pin set a rule for him on this journey not to flirt with her- they have to be just friends and nothing more. Kyaw Kyaw accepts the rule knowing he can't keep it.

The journey moves on to uncover places which her grandma left untold. They are love letters from a Burmese gentleman who loves her grandma so deeply. Why did she never opened them and why did she keep all these secrets. The grand daughter can't stop and she has to move on even if the story will break her heart again.
