Synopsis
On May 7, 1885, during a time when Burma was about to fall to the British, within the King's Palace, the Lord of Navy (Nyunt Win) and Bo Kyaw Khaung (Kyaw Ye Aung) were trying to join forces with the French to defend themselves. A group of Bo Thurain (Kyaw Thu) and Bo Min Htin (Lwin Moe), loyal to Prince of Nyaungyan, were trying to defend their own kingdom without relying on anyone. At that time, there was a time of disunity and ethnic division, and the British took advantage of the illegal logging and tried to take over the country. Who fought to keep the Burmese state from falling under its rule? How to defend the country and the nation is a good film that will inspire patriotism.
