The Price of Life

In the heart of a bustling city alley, a young boy carries more than just a bag of food — he carries the weight of someone else’s life.

Set against a backdrop of poverty and quiet despair, this cinematic short follows the emotional journey of a child determined to gather enough money to cover a staggering hospital bill: 88,000,000 baht.

Without dialogue, the story unfolds through powerful visuals, tears, and small acts of kindness. A mysterious girl offers silent support. A crumpled bill becomes the symbol of life and death.

“The Price of Life” is a raw, poetic glimpse into sacrifice, love, and the invisible battles faced by children in unseen corners of the world.
The movie was inspired and based on the real Thai sad commercial.

A film by Pawel Czechowski aka Future Level

I remember many years ago watching a sad thai commercial…always been impressed by their emotional and dramatical ads on youtube. After so many years i have noticed that Veo 3 came out and i was already since few into ai cinema, tools and prompts. So i tried to create something very similar what i admired.
