Uranus 2324 (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Many times we try to

search for past stories in our lives.

Wondering which memories

we might have lost.

Sometimes, we remember.

And many times,

they've fallen into a deep black hole.

Despite how hard we try to retrieve them,

we can't find them.

Until one day, we encounter a miracle

that brings us back to

the pit of memories.

Allowing us to search

and rediscover those stories once again.

Hello, Ma'am. Delivery.

- Put it right here.

- Yes, Ma'am.

Eh, still one set left, right?

Yes, one more set.

Can I get that for you tomorrow?

Yes, but don't come in late.

Thank you, of course.

Thank you.

Okay.

Isthe agreement ready?

Nothing to fix, proceed as it is.

If it's done, I'll sign it.

Yes.

Yes, thank you.

Take care, then.

DUSIT PHOTOSHOP

When we get new pictures,

I wanna develop 'em.

Sure.

I'm heading out.

Stay safe.

Bring me next time.

Sure, but give me the bag for now.

Gimme.

Gotta go.

See you soon.

See you soon.

I'm off.

A Thai underwater photographer

went missing in the Italian sea,

while he was diving

for a photography expedition

at an underwater cave in Ravenna.

During the dive, he got separated

from the team and went missing.

The search team has mobilized

over 100 personnel,

including divers and rescue units,

but no trace of him.

- Okay.

- Okay, take care.

Take care, Mom.

Today, there is the mission that will send

astronauts to the Lunar Gateway,

named Overture 9.

In this mission, we have two things

to be glad for Thailand.

Firstly, Overture 9 has chosen

Thailand to provide

the main food for the astronauts

which confirms that the Thai food industry

passed the highest safety measure

on the space standard levels.

This confirms that our food is toxin-free

and we have best food safety in the world.

For the mission to send astronauts

to Lunar Gateway station,

Overture 9, will be

another step for mankind,

to open a new chapter in history

towards a permanent presence on the moon,

and will be the first step in

exploring other planets, far from here

which humans have yet to explore.

And another pride of Thailand,

Ms Linlada Sasinpimon is a part

of the team as a mission specialist.

She has become one of

the inspirations for Thai youths,

encouraging them to dare

and follow their dreams.

- Thank you.

- See you next time, kiddo.

Of course.

Kath!

Kath

Always late.

Sorry. Come on, let's go.

Come on!

Come, I'll pay for your O-aew jelly.

Let's go.

Hold on tight.

Here we go.

You drive so slow.

I don't want to reach home too soon.

Then, don't drive slowly,

just take a detour instead.

Sure.

It's my first time to see this.

So many unique patterns.

In a kaleidoscope, every image we see

is a reflection of each other.

Each image has a relation

to the one next to it.

Oh, like having

multiple dimensions of you?

Yeah.

I only wanna see you

in this dimension, here

without any reflections.

Me too.

MAX-Q, the vehicle has reached

the highest pressure of the flight path.

How's the breathing?

I can hold longer.

Good.

Don't exceed your limits.

I'm worried, ya know?

Worried?

Then, come down with me.

Nah, I'd drown.

I'll teach you.

I can't swim.

And if I drown, who would save me?

Okay, then teach me next time.

But thanks for coming with me.

Can't swim, can't help me.

But you're cute, eh?

Strange, huh?

I want to go up,

but you want to go down.

Going different directions,

hard luck meeting.

Lin!

Tom!

Lin!

Lin!

Lin?

Lin?

YEAR 2004

Why do you like this song?

Do you know its meaning?

Its meaning is

The only thing that can break

every rule of physics in this universe is

Love.

Love will make two people,

no matter how many light years apart,

love will shorten the distance

between the two hearts

to keep them close, always.

How's that? Romantic, huh?

Is it good?

Wanna try?

Is it good?

Nah.

Delicious yet?

Yeah.

It's spilling.

It's spilling.

Hello, Mom.

Oh, Lin. Kath is upstairs,

she hasn't woke up yet.

- You can go wake her up.

- Alright.

Okay, place your hands on your thighs.

Back straight.

Lower your chin a bit.

123

Time to wake up.

So early.

Can you be here every morning?

Every day, huh?

You know what today is?

What day?

Competition day.

You're right.

- Shower quickly.

- Why didn't you wake me?

Go shower.

I'll wait downstairs.

So long.

All done.

You can pick them up in two days.

Yes, thank you.

I'm heading out with Lin, Mom.

Where are you going?

Around, for fun.

Things that I warned you about

You never listen, do you?

I'm a freediver.

What's so wrong about that?

Can't I follow my dreams?

Your dreams

Some day you won't be able to return here.

Dad said that every freediver

knows that this sport is risky

and very dangerous.

But they are happy to do it.

I have never touched my dream even once.

You've already reached your own.

But you chose to stop it yourself.

Even if Dad has been gone a long time,

I believe that

he still supports us to be divers.

You were a great freediver.

I wanna be great like you.

Today, I'll make you see

that I can do it.

Dad watches over us.

Even though you don't support my dream,

please don't stop me.

Lin

Wait a moment.

Can you give this robe to Kath?

Try to relax. Focus.

Ready?

If you're not,

we can go later, near the end.

Early or late,

I still need to join the competition.

Now's good, Lin.

Kath, you can stand-by now.

Go.

Hurry back up. I'll be waiting.

Yeah.

Go.

Kath, you ready?

Kath!

Hey!

Can I get film developed by this evening?

Lin?

You know me?

Can I pick it up this evening?

Kath.

Why didn't you answer the customer?

Dad?

Let me.

Here it is.

Please deliver to this address then.

Oh, sure.

Three days from now.

Thank you.

I'm going now.

Hey, Is that the photo that you developed?

Let me see.

Oh, you're so good at

developing photographs.

Good job.

Are you alright?

Huh?

Look here.

Kath!

You're already back?

Put these away in the kitchen.

I already bought everything you asked for.

I asked?

You did!

Here, put them away in the kitchen.

- Mom.

- Hmm?

Is this real?

Of course it is.

You said you're gonna

make fried bitter-beans for Dad.

You keep watching

the fighting fish instead of working.

I finished it.

You keep watching, it will get pregnant.

You crazy? How could the fish

get pregnant with me?

Put them away in the kitchen, dear.

What?

These bitter-beans are good.

Wanna eat fried bitter-beans, really?

Mom.

I need to borrow it, Mom.

Borrow? Where are you going?

Kath, where are you going?

Who's gonna cook for Dad?

Kath!

Kath.

Ride safely, dear.

Kath!

You finished, Lin?

Hurry a bit.

Hello, Sir.

Oh, hello.

The shop is already closed.

Where's Lin?

Lin's inside.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

Moving to Phuket.

Right now?

Yeah.

Go shop there some time. Bye.

Lin

It's Kath. Remember me?

Mm, yeah. We've just met at the store.

Just that?

Of course. You're a junior, after me.

The school's drum major.

Everyone knows you.

You only remember that?

Lin!

I'm coming, Dad.

Uncle Tinn.

We'll be off.

Good luck. Come back to visit sometime.

Okay, come to us, too.

- Okay, sure.

- Yeah.

If you'll come visit, why do I have to go?

I gotta go.

See you.

Is that your friend?

Nope! She is a younger sister at school.

You girls talked so long.

Are you ready?

1 MONTH LATER

Ah, Kath. I prepared

everything for you, dear.

Thank you, Mom.

Acting naughty again, you!

Try kicking it, Dad.

Kicking it?

It's time to get it now, I think.

It's always like that.

Needs a kick to get it started.

How did you know?

I guessed.

Oh, stop pretending, honey.

You can say if it hurts.

She already knows.

- Are you actually hurting?

- Of course, who would act hurt?

I guess you can't kick the bucket now.

- How dare you challenge me on this?

- Come on!

It's been so long

that I haven't felt like this.

Or is this a parallel world

like we saw in the movies?

So many questions, yet to be answered.

My feet hurt but not something else.

Ah, I better go.

Kath, the fin, dear. You forgot the fin.

Thank you, Mom.

- Good luck.

- Bye-bye.

How can I be here?

It's like there's a force

yanking me there,

and then yanking me back here.

Everything here seems to

be everything I ever dreamed of.

But there's only one thing. I want it

to be like the world I came from.

But it never happened

Didn't you move to Phuket for a month now?

I came back to work.

Work on what?

They have a freediving competition here.

You're competing?

Not competing, the staff team.

Huh?

And, are you competing, Kath?

Yeah.

Keep on fighting.

Thank you, Lin.

I gotta go.

Let's go together.

Faster, faster, faster.

It's about to start.

It's starting! It's starting. Come on.

Don't go yet! Wait for me.

Hurry, Kath!

Wait, wait, wait.

Hurry, Kath.

Wait for me.

I'm going!

Wait for me!

Get on.

Okay, Lets go.

Lets go.

Climbing here.

Eat well, baby.

Nom! There ya go.

Sathu!

It's very late, why aren't you in bed?

Mom will complain.

A minute. I wanna watch you work.

What work?

Looking at an amulet.

Here, look at these photos.

I took them back when I was young.

Any beautiful spot,

I went and took all of them.

This is the reason why you like diving?

Yes.

I want to capture

the beautiful underwater scenery

for others who won't be able to see it.

That's how these pictures came to be.

And you, what do you wanna do?

I wanna see you.

I want you to be with me all my life.

Oh, what's going on, huh?

You want me to take

pretty underwater pictures for you,

right?

Yes, Dad.

What is it?

Snot and tears just from this?

Seriously, is it that sentimental?

Hey

I'm asking you seriously,

why do you want to be a freediver?

It might run in the DNA.

Mom is a freediver.

Dad is an underwater photographer.

And I'm still

the best person in the world.

Right.

But I'm not good at it.

Sometimes I feel exhausted,

and I wanna quit, Dad.

Kath

Never stop dreaming, dear.

If we keep doing it,

one day, the dream might come true.

Look at me. These beautiful pictures.

I was looked down upon a lot once,

and told I could never

sell these pretty pictures.

If I'd stopped because of their words,

I wouldn't have ever met your mom.

And I wouldn't have

a lovely daughter like you.

Keep fighting.

Very good.

Time for bed.

You crybaby.

Go to sleep.

Sathu.

Still?

Still not going to bed?

Go, dear. Sweet dreams.

Alright.

Who are you looking for?

It's nothing.

Here.

Thank you.

Miss Kath, ready for stand-by.

Okay.

Kath

You have to do it today.

Safety, go now.

Come in, come in.

Come, come. A bit more.

Kath!

- Carry her. Carry her in.

- Over here.

Put her on the ground.

- Kath!

- CPR, calm down.

Stay clear. Stay clear.

Kath

Why did you push your limits?

It's not worth it if something happens.

Thank you.

You might have to

save me my whole life, Lin.

Because this is my dream.

Being in freediving competitions.

It's like letting yourself go.

Leave everything on the surface.

And think about the world below.

So deep.

What about you? Your dreams?

It's more like a daydreaming than a dream.

So what it is?

I love stargazing.

I wanna be up there.

I want to explore space.

I'll live on this planet

and go to that planet there.

As far as Uranus over there.

Where is Uranus?

It's too far. You can't see it.

But it's December, we just might.

There! A comet!

That's right.

But really, Kath,

my dreams won't come true,

compared to yours.

Don't stop dreaming.

One day, it might come true.

When you reach Uranus,

find a way to send a signal to me

telling me which planet it is.

Kath you're the first person

who said what I talk about can come true.

Promise that you won't give up your dream.

Yeah.

How do you know how to row?

My birth home is near the sea,

of course I'd know.

Not true. I used to know someone

whose birth home is here,

but can't even swim.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Is there really someone who lives

by the sea but can't swim?

Yes, there is.

- But I have a confession.

- Huh?

This is the first time I rowed.

Really?

I feel completely at ease.

I really wanna stop time here, Lin.

Where it's just the two of us.

Kath.

- We're here.

- Yeah.

We're here.

Gotta go.

Kath?

Huh?

Wanna hang out tomorrow?

Where are we going?

To see the fog sea.

Khao Khai Nui, right?

Mmm.

Of course! I've been there before.

Then let's meet up there.

I have something for you,

something to tell.

Really? Then tell me now.

Give it to me right now.

Not now.

It's not romantic. I'm off.

Take care.

Hello?

Pi Lin where are you?

The fog is beautiful. Come take pictures.

I'm going.

What are you doing? Why didn't you hurry?

I'm taking pictures of the beach.

Ah, is it pretty?

The water's a bit weird.

It receded from the beach by a lot.

Pi Lin! Get out of there!

Big wave!

Lin!

Pi Lin, do you hear me?

Pi Lin!

Pi Lin!

Kathariya!

Kath!

Lin.

Kath.

Kath.

Lin?

Uncle!

You're lucky the b*llet just grazed you.

You look better. You'll be fine soon.

Uncle, go downstairs.

I'll handle things here.

Get some rest, alright?

Dad!

Do you remember me?

I thinkyou should rest a bit more.

It will get better soon.

Take care of her.

Who was that man?

Uncle Tianwang, the owner

of the Chinese opera troupe.

You can speak Thai?

I'm a half British, half Thai.

Where does the sun rise?

The sun rises in the hearts

of those who do not give up.

Did the British send you?

You're a Free Thai

who has been helping us.

Right now, both the Thai police

and the Japanese soldiers

are looking for you.

Don't know when Free Thai

will send a ship to pick you up.

The only way you'll survive,

is to escape on the ship

with those prisoners.

There is no time.

Gotta go out to find intel.

Also, I'm Lin.

I'm Kath.

Before you passed out,

I heard you call my name.

You know me?

I guessed.

Thank you.

The Japanese Empire

did not come as a conqueror,

but as a liberator.

Okay. I'm going to

take the picture, stay still.

Get ready.

A little bit to the left.

Okay, ready. I'm about to take it.

3 2 1

Done.

Is it okay?

Yes, yes. Go change your clothes.

Let's go.

Go where?

Is this the time to be doing this?

It won't take long, just a moment.

We don't have

many photos together, please.

What are you talking about?

Young ladies, I'm going to

take the picture, ready?

Alright, go ahead.

Okay, good pose.

Ready?

321!

Japan is about to win the w*r.

The Allied countries,

USA, Britain, and France are about

to announce their surrender.

After Japan dropped

two atomic bombs on New York

on August 6

and August 9, 1945.

If you need anything, tell me.

Thank you.

Sit here for a bit.

I'll go inform my people first.

- This w*r's almost over, don't you think?

- Yeah.

No matter who wins,

we'll still be sl*ves to the Japanese.

Yes! It doesn't matter who wins.

Even if America wins, our country

will still be sl*ves to America.

How are we going to live after this?

Thais have never been colonized

or anyone's sl*ves.

We just fought with each other into chaos.

Hey, you're a foreigner.

What do you know, huh?

I'm Thai.

Don't you know your status?

I just want everyone

not to give up so easily.

I know, Kath.

But right now, you're being hunted.

I'm sorry.

Your hair and face

are already eye-catching.

If you keep doing this,

I won't be able to help you.

Why are you smiling?

Did you just say I'm beautiful?

Let's go.

Sir check please?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

- Thank you very much.

- Yes.

What Thai? Clearly a foreigner.

Right? Thai people should look like us.

Tomorrow will be our Victory Day.

Hello, Comrade Prim.

Is this the one you want us to sneak out?

You'll have the boat pick up

the prisoners tomorrow, right?

Yes, the boat will arrive tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Any later and it won't be safe.

We don't know what Japan will do next

after they declare victory.

Tomorrow is a good idea.

The boat will dock at Thap Lamu, at dawn.

Thank you.

Have a safe journey.

Let's return to the shrine first,

then we'll leave late at night.

What's wrong?

Can I stay?

Kath, if you get caught,

it won't be just you.

Will you come with me?

You helped me,

so what will you do if you get caught?

I have many more missions to do.

You're not the only one in trouble.

I'm not afraid to die.

I could die at any time.

But I want my death to mean something.

It's a pity we didn't have

much time to talk.

Anyway, I wish you a safe journey, Kath.

And when the time is right,

come back and visit.

Okay.

Lin, you too. Be careful.

It's very dangerous in the capital.

The Japs are swarming everywhere.

It's my duty. I'll do it no matter what.

Thank you, Uncle,

for risking yourself by hiding me here

and always helping us.

Anything I can do

for the nation, I will do.

Thanks to you both for

your sacrifices for the country.

Stay safe

and fulfill your duties.

Alright?

I just miss my Dad.

You remind me so much of him.

Take good care of yourself.

When everything settles down,

I'll come back.

Alright, take good care of yourself.

You too.

Uncle, a Japanese military truck

is coming.

Do the Japanese soldiers know we're here?

Tell everyone to get ready.

Yes, yes, Uncle. Okay.

You two, go find a place to hide.

Go.

We're already closed today.

Why don't you come back tomorrow?

Where did you hide the spy?

What spy? There's no spy here.

This is an opera house,

just opera performers.

Dad!

Kath!

If they catch us,

all our efforts will have been in vain.

Kath, get on the truck!

Kath!

This is the rendezvous point.

Lin.

Let's run away together.

I can't.

I have more missions to do.

Have you ever wondered why

I knew you from the start?

It's because we knew each other before.

We were close

And we loved each other.

I travelled from another world.

Apart from this world,

there are many more.

And in every world I've been to,

there isn't a single one

where we don't love each other.

But in every world

we end up being apart.

I came to this world,

because I don't want to lose you again.

Can we just stop caring for anything else?

Not caring about the w*r.

Not caring about the country.

Can we run away and be together?

Can we be together forever?

I don't want to live in pain anymore.

Seriously, Kath,

I don't understand anything you said.

But if we can get through this,

let's talk about this later.

No.

Right now, you need to get on the boat.

No,

I won't.

What took you so long?

Lin!

The Japanese attacked the shrine.

They probably know about us now.

- The boat's waiting.

- Go.

Let's go, Kath.

Come on!

- Go, go, go, Kath.

- Hurry.

We're surrounded.

Go!

Go!

Prim, take her to the boat.

I'll distract them.

No, I won't leave you, Lin.

Can you not worry me further?

I won't leave you, Lin.

Go, Kath.

Go.

- Go.

- Lin.

Go.

Lin.

Go!

Kath, come on!

Kath!

Go, get outta here!

Come on.

Go!

Kath, are you alright?

Lin, come on.

Come on.

Faster, faster, faster.

Kath.

Let's go!

Kath.

Stop the boat!

I'm so glad

to be here in this world

where I got to meet you, Lin.

I had the chance to see you smile

and be by your side like before.

The oxygen is running out, Kath.

Every breath after this

is very precious to us both, Kath.

Please don't go.

Stay with me until our very last breath.

I used to think of you as Uranus.

Why is that?

Because the Earth and Uranus

are 2,723,950,000 kilometers apart.

But we humans discovered Uranus

even before discovering the south pole.

No matter how far away you are,

I will follow until I find you, Kath.

Tomorrow

I need to go to New York with my mom.

We won't see each other again, right?

In parallel worlds

Is there one where

we can live

without pain?

DUSIT PHOTOSHOP

Take care of yourself, Mom.

What would happen

If we had the chance to restart everything

all over again?

Go back.

Go back and tell yourself

that you have to live.

Kath

it's time to go back.

Back in 2024,

humans witnessed the arrival

of the Charlotte Comet

in our solar system.

I'm Linlada Sasinpimon.

I'm thrilled to be a part

of the Overture project again.

As the mission's Commander

who was involved in

the program since its beginning.

The Overture 77 mission

is an important step

to study the Charlotte Comet,

which is making its way towards Uranus.

Its path, influenced by the gravity

of surrounding planets,

has diverted it to

a journey towards Earth.

And on this mission,

Thailand also joined

the expedition effort.

Which is the largest

international collaboration

in the history of space exploration.

Lin!

Lin!

The only thing that can break every rule

of physics in this universe is love.

Love will make two people,

no matter how many light years apart.

Love will shorten the distance

between the two hearts to

keep them close, always.

Kath!

I love you, Kath.

The day we never have to be apart.
