International Premiere

Fast & Feel Love

เร็วโหด..เหมือนโกรธเธอ

30-year-old Kao is the world’s fastest sport stacker, thanks in large part to his self-sacrificing girlfriend Jay (NYAFF 2022 Screen International Rising Star Urassaya Sperbund), who allows him to practice nonstop. When she comes to her senses and leaves, he must face reality, grow up and build a new support system to reach his goal—as well as win her back. Director Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit (Happy Old Year, Heart Attack) has crafted a thrill-a-minute romcom/stacking-action tale that is as fast moving and quirky as the oddball sport at the center of its plot. Throbbing with energy, ingenuity and originality, this spirited send-up of young adulthood is a mesmerizing showstopper.
