Living in Baan Suan, a family mansion, Chai is a disillusioned writer, blocked physically and spiritually. Like the house, he has been both a witness and participant in the events that shaped modern Bangkok. A child of privilege, Chai has lived comfortably but without the passion and the depth of experience he had once craved. When he meets Yai Li – a healer from the slums who is grappling with her own past trauma – his inertia begins to shift. Set in pre-pandemic Bangkok, Slow Steps to Love traces a gradual process of discovering love and healing that allows reconciliation with the past and acceptance of the present.
