Between these two men, there is this young, beautiful, lustful, but well-educated, Madame Yupadee playing a dangerous game of forbidden romance with her husband's beloved nephew, who is almost a son to him. The wealthy Papo represents power and control of the past, while his well-read nephew is all for knowledge and modernity. The film director, a descendant of Thailand's royal family himself, tries to point out the decaying and disgust of "the room upstairs". This is a critique to Thailand's class divide.
Now, what is hidden as a political agenda indeed deepens.
An adorable nephew lost himself in a blind love of his uncle's new and young wife, and received a brutal and inhuman punishment that eventually drives him insane. This is a story of love, lust, and betrayal to the extreme.
As a hidden political manifesto, this film is as shameless and self-righteous as those in Thailand who resist democratic changes at the point of destroying it today. As a film, I found "Eternity", or "Chuafa Dinsalai", to be a good piece of storytelling, with several angles to praise.
