Max's heart wakes him from sleep. It knows, even before he leaves the dream world, that something is wrong in reality.

He begins to activate all his senses one by one.

His nose brings him the only important message, that his Nat is still at his chest. He breathes the sweet fruity scent of his love and tries to calm his heart.

And his hands feel the only important reality. His husband's delicate body is pressed against him and he lets his fingertips send that glad message to his heart.

Nat is there.

He feels the gentle pressure against his skin.

His Nong is there after all, why does his heart ache so?

And so he wants to let his ears listen.

Maybe they can tell from reality why he was called out of sleep by his heart.

And a soft whimper suddenly makes Max open his eyes.

A whimper.

And now he also feels the hot tears on his chest.

"Nat?" his voice finally finds the reason for his awakening.

The sun shines brightly through the large windows of the white villa into their bedroom.

A new day of their love awaits them.

"Nat, what's wrong?" he tries to pull his Nong out from his hiding place on his chest.

Nat shakes his head slightly and digs his face all the deeper into his husband's body.

And Max's big hands reach for his face and guide him to the worried eyes that only want to catch sight of him.

"My sweet Nong! Speak to me!" he kisses his forehead.

Max's heart hurts at the sight of his wet cheeks.

He kisses the tears from the beloved face and now lets his sense of taste reach reality.

"Oh, I don't know either!" pouts Nat's snout.

He looks into his Pi's worried eyes and can't stop his tears.

As soon as the sun rose, Nat's soul could not find peace.

He woke up and snuggled all the closer to his husband.

And he could do nothing about his carousel of thoughts.

The last day on Ko Samui.

Being free for the last time.

On the dream island they came so close to each other.

Their love got to know each other even better.

Overcoming hurdles and crossing borders.

The last day with his Pi Max on the dream island.

Before they have to face reality again.

Pi Max and Nong Nat in a well-planned schedule pretend their brotherhood with hopeful moments.

Staging their love only as fiction.

The last day.

Tomorrow they will already be among all the others.

The ignorant others.

Experiencing P'Aof's fatherly guidance.

Being grateful to the crew for all the work.
