Dad, I'm going to work.
Okay. Good luck, son.
Oh, thank you for holding the elevator for me.
It's nothing, don't worry.
Um, hey, just let me hold that for you.
Oh, that's my job, you don't need to.
No, just let me, please.
Anna, how's it going with the new building?
Um, about that, I think you should go and talk some sense into those in-laws today.
When?
At 10am. I remember you have a meeting with the board of directors.
And in the afternoon, you have some document to process.
So, 10am would be the best.
Yeah, I think 10am is okay.
So, you will prepare everything up for me?
Yeah, okay, that's my job.
Okay, thank you, Anna.
I did it, Dad. I'll be your skyscraper in this city.
Your car is ready, sir.
Oh, wait!
Yeah, what?
Yeah, but anytime can I have a coffee with the creative architect here?
Yeah, sure, why not? How about this weekend?
Okay, so, is the one down the street okay for you?
Sure, but see you then. I have to go now.
Okay, see you. Good luck.
Apartment number 26.
This is Joe Locke from Rock Architecture and Design.
As you may have known, this site is about to be re-translated into a skyscraper of the future.
The demolition of the apartment is planned next month.
So, please, those who reside in the apartment,
please contact our company for relocation program and compensation.
Please, do this as soon as possible. Thank you.
Mister, wait, wait!
You can't do this. Don't tear down this building. It's our home.
I know this is difficult, but you have to let go.
The building is falling apart, and it's not safe for anyone to live in.
Maybe it's not perfect, but that is all we have.
When we came to this country, we had nothing.
No friends, no home, no place to go.
This building, it was the first thing that opened this door to us.
It gave us a chance to start over, to rebuild a new life.
My children were born here. We grew roots here.
How can you just take that away from us?
The foundation is weak. The walls are crumbling.
You have to let it go. I'm not taking anything away from you.
I'm offering something better.
Do you even think about what will come after?
The better you're talking about, we can't afford it.
What will happen to us? Where will we go?
Do you know how many nights we spent praying for a home on our roof?
Do you know how much we have struggled just to stay here?
It's not just the building. It's our home.
Our memories. Our community. Our hope.
You'll be compensated, madam.
There will be a relocation program, and there will be assistance for you.
This isn't the end, but it is a new beginning.
Do you think that money can rebuild a house?
Do you think it can rebuild a community?
My children were born here.
My neighbors, those people we want to push out, are like my family.
We share meals. We celebrate together. We grieve together.
This isn't just a building. It's our life. It's all we've got.
I know this is difficult, but you have to let it go.
You have to see the bigger picture.
I'm building a future here. A greater, safer, brighter future for everyone.
The future? The future for who?
For us? Or for the healthy people who will live in that shiny new tower you're building?
What about us? What will happen to our children? Where will we go?
Do you even care what will happen to us once we're gone?
I'm building a future here for you and your kids, and for everyone else.
A future that isn't built or ruined.
Just take the compensation and go, please.
Let the building fade away.
I'm home, Dad.
What happened? Is it about a new building?
Yes, Dad. I mean, it's just getting complicated.
Those people just don't want to move.
Why don't you come to see them?
I tried this morning.
I don't know. There's a woman. She kept shouting at me.
I don't know what's wrong with them.
I'm trying to build a future here for them.
But what did I get? Some immigrant woman shouting at my face.
Just try dating them one more time. How about tomorrow night?
Yes, I will try. It's a vision of my life.
I don't want to miss this chance either.
Please join me. Remember, whatever happens, you're still a great architect.
Thanks, Dad.
What's the formula of this area of Chiang Rai?
100 meters height.
No, that's so big.
Yeah.
Yeah, Sis Kim, Sis Kim.
Sis, what's this?
Something special.
Wait, wait.
Hi, Sis.
Hi, how are you doing?
Do you want to see my dress?
Yes.
Ta-da!
I made it.
I will be a flight attendant.
Sure, you will.
Yeah.
Hey, Dad, can I borrow the cardboard?
Sure, for what?
Secret.
John, where's the cardboard?
What did you do with the cardboard, John?
That cardboard, the one you have just torn down, was our home, John!
Do you understand? It's quite our home!
It's quite our home, John!
Where will we sleep tonight?
I built us a new home.
Thank you, John. Thank you.
I will be a great architect someday.
And I will build a big, great home.
I'm sure you will, John.
One day, your building will rise on that skyline.
And one day, you'll build a bright future for all of us.
Hi, why are you here?
Why didn't you answer any phone or messages? I was worried.
Why would you? I'm no longer that great architect anymore.
No, you are. You are the greatest architect ever.
Really?
Of course.
Merry Christmas.
