These most unlikely of friends bonded through perhaps one shared trait -- a deeply rooted rebelliousness.

- DirectorWaraluck Hiransrettawat EveryDavid ReeveStarsBoonchai ApintanaphongWorranuj KanakakornPrasert KeawpukdeeY/OUR MUSIC immerses itself in the world of Thai musical expressions, from traditional music to labor songs and classical pop to urban indie music, spanning different locales and generations.

While inhabiting different worlds, the musicians are linked by the same passion to bring their artistic aspirations to the fore and survive outside the pop mainstream.

Spike has dreams of his own, and when he successfully auditions for a band, he can't help but feel that he and Sarah are starting on the road to escaping their ill-fated existence. But just as things are looking up, everything goes uncontrollably wrong, and Spike and Sarah have only their undying love for each other as a means of survival against all odds.
