Roeng(2018)

Roeng is a Thai comedy series following a small municipality that stumbles into unexpected wealth. When a 15-year-old discovers gold—both literally and through savvy hedge fund investments of the town's savings—the mayor sees an opportunity to transform his humble community. Flush with newfound riches, Roeng sets its sights on an audacious goal: launching into space. The series blends small-town charm with absurdist humor as the unlikely cast pursues this outlandish dream, exploring themes of ambition, greed, and what happens when ordinary people suddenly have extraordinary resources. It's a quirky, satirical take on rural development and the chaos that ensues when a sleepy village becomes a financial powerhouse overnight.
