Summary

In the northern part of Denmark there live 575 Thai women married to Danish men. 15 years ago there were almost none. But Sommai was there – a former sex-worker from Pattaya. With Sommai as the front woman “From Thailand to Thy”, the film depicts a network of industrious and strong Thai women. Together with a number of compatriots, Sommai now works in a fish factory. She tries to help her niece Kae to find a husband after the girl arrives in Denmark on a three-month tourist visa. With personal ads and female intuition they search for the right man for Kae. Through this rather different love story, we get an intimate insight into the marriages between Danish men and their Thai wives in northern Denmark. An insight that tells the story of globalization, poverty, survival, and our common needs for security, love and “somebody to care about”. Each side has something to offer that the other can't find at home.
