In association with iSTAR VIDEO PRODUCTION, Thang Mung Films has completed its second feature-length film – EXILE! Another action-packed movie with a message about the Love of God – EXILE is loosely based on the life of the Biblical character Moses. When a ninja assassin is forced to leave behind everything he’s ever known, he finds new life and love in unexpected places.
The film is recorded in Zomi (one of the native languages of Myanmar) and English, so speakers of both languages can enjoy it.
In the heart-pounding thriller EXILE, produced by Thang Mung of ISTAR Production, we are introduced to Muang, a ninja assassin meticulously trained to be a ruthless killer. Raised by a shadowy underworld empire, Muang has been conditioned to follow his adoptive father’s orders without question, earning a fearsome reputation as an unyielding hitman.
However, Muang’s life takes an unexpected turn when he is tasked with punishing an innocent girl—a test of his loyalty and an assault on his dwindling sense of moral conscience. Forced to confront his humanity, Muang finds himself unable to carry out this heinous act and makes the fateful decision to break free from the grips of his only known family—the criminal organization.
Muang’s flight from his dark past thrusts him into an unfamiliar world, where he seeks solace and purpose. During this desperate escape, he crosses paths with Nuam, a young waitress of extraordinary kindness. This chance encounter awakens a dormant yearning within Muang for a loving and compassionate family, a life far removed from the violence and darkness that define his previous existence.
Nuam, however, is facing her own challenges. Working long hours at a dead-end job to care for her infirm father and alcoholic brother leaves her exhausted. Eventually, her brother’s destructive choices led the criminal organization to Muang. Now, facing threats and danger from his past, Muang must rely on his unique skills to protect the life he has come to cherish. Together with Nuam, he must confront his demons and the formidable forces that seek to tear them apart.
EXILE draws parallels to the Biblical story of Moses in its depiction of a man who flees his past, defying the powerful forces that shaped him. Like Moses preparing to lead his people out of Egypt, Muang must first liberate himself from a life of violence and darkness and embark on a quest to build a new life defined by kindness, compassion, and the promise of a brighter future.
Muang and Nuam’s journey is a story of redemption, transformation, and the enduring power of love. Their partnership unfolds as they strive to build a new life, free from the looming shadows of Muang’s violent past. They embark on a mission to create a world where kindness, compassion, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow can flourish.
EXILE is a gripping and emotional tale of love, transformation, and the indomitable human spirit. It’s a journey from darkness to light, from violence to peace, and from a life full of death to one full of the warmth of life and hope for a better tomorrow. As Muang and Nuam’s story unfolds, it captivates, inspires, and reminds us that even the most hardened souls can find redemption, and that love can conquer even the darkest of pasts.
