From the world known director Luc Besson and Rebecca Frayn, who was the writer of the screenplay, comes a fabulous story about Aung San Suu Kyi, who was one of the leading women and centre of democracy in Burma. It begins with the flashback memories from her life and a narration which explains what was going on in the past and how her father fought for the independence of Burma. Later, as Aung San Suu Kyi (Michelle Yeoh) grew up and married with Michael Aris (David Thewlis) and raised two boys, her country was in the time of need again. She got the chance to resume what her father begun. Since there was no other way of living under strong hand of Ne Win to Tan Shwe (Agga Poechit), who was a military ruler, she was supported by the local people to lead them into democracy. So, she decided to start a fight, but in a very peaceful manner. As the story went on, the viewers see her being captive in her own land, not being able to see her husband or her children. After long fight and persistence, Burma gained their democracy, but Aung San Suu Kyi had died. The story is told from both angle of Aung San Suu Kyi as well as from the perspective of her husband, who was not allowed to be by her side while she helps her people.
