在西方世界與穆斯林的對立氛圍下,即使是泰國的穆斯林,形象也不免有些負面。這部影片跟隨一位嫁給穆斯林丈夫的泰國女子,走入泰國南方的鄉間,紀錄 她一面與丈夫經營他們的婚姻,一面努力學習謹守戒律的生活,對不熟悉穆斯林的妻子而言,一切顯得新鮮奇異,但宗教信仰畢竟只是背景,更重要的還是日日面對 的尋常夫妻的家常歲月。

「我們對June的決定感到好奇,一個年輕活潑的曼谷女子,對伊斯蘭完全沒有任何認識,但卻做了一個大決定,不但要擁抱新的神與信仰,還要去過完 全不同的新生活。任何新婚夫妻都會經歷共同生活的新壓力,但June卻還得學習適應南部的嶄新環境。我們不是要調查身為穆斯林的感受,也不想反駁任何既定 觀念,我們相信,經由我們的觀察與耐心,我們能從女主角的經驗,反映出社會的若干價值觀。」─帕努.亞瑞、孔.李狄、卡溫尼朋.克帕西
Like 95% of Thai people, June is a Buddhist. She lives in Bangkok and runs a small second-hand clothes shop and works in the editorial department of a magazine. All of that changes when she decides to marry Ake, a devout Muslim man from the rural South. June becomes Muslim – veiled and monotheist. She quits her job, leaves her family, and starts a new life where she learns to pray, fast, follow the Prophet's teachings, and above all, believe in one God.
“What drove us to explore June’s story is the curiosity of her decision, a life-altering move for a young, fun-loving Bangkok woman who had known next to nothing about Islam but who now embraces not only a new God, a new faith, but also an entirely new lifestyle. All newlyweds must soon encounter the tension of domestic living, and in June’s case, that tension seems to double when she finds herself in a completely new environment, living amongst Ake’s family in the South. We seek neither to investigate the essence of being a Muslim, nor to counter any preconceptions. We only believe that, through our observant eyes and patience, we can reflect certain values of society through the experience of this individual.” - Panu Aree, Kong Rithdee, Kaweenipon Ketprasit
