Tame (2026) plot: what the story is about
Tame (original Thai title: เลี้ยงไม่เชื่อง) is set in a farming community in rural Thailand where bullfighting is part of everyday life. The animals are not simply raised. They are broken in through intimidation and through rites handed down over generations.
At the centre of the story is a teenage girl who lives under the tight grip of her own household, with little room to choose her own path. Desperate to break free, she turns to an old spiritual force, hoping its power can give her the freedom she has never had. But what she calls upon follows the same harsh logic as the village. The methods used to subdue the bulls begin to turn toward the family that raised her.
The film combines horror with family drama to explore control, obedience and belief. Its tagline states the central idea: “In the name of belief we let ourselves be tamed.”
The film is in Thai and runs 103 minutes. Thamuya Thasananukulkij wrote and directed it.
