'Cause You're My Boy
Meet Mork, mischievous leader of the ‘Bear Gang’ and a high school senior hustling porn to his classmates. He’s the son of Muad Moo, the legendary barber outside an all-boys school near Pak Khlong Talad. One day, while cutting Tee’s hair, Muad Moo mishears the lottery results and bolts, leaving Mork stuck as Tee’s reluctant barber. A prank haircut sparks chaos at school, and after three weeks scrubbing bathrooms as punishment, Mork gets revenge by framing Tee with a gay porn film, accidentally drawing Bambi’s attention. To fix the mess, Mork and Tee pretend to be a couple, guided by Ching, a playful Grade 10 yaoi fan. With friends Aou, Ton, Mork’s little brother Morn, and Gord, they navigate pranks, unexpected feelings, and schemes while trying to revive the legendary Muad Moo Barbershop.
