The Leaves (Thai: ใบไม้ที่ปลิดปลิว) was a Thai television drama based on a melodrama novel that reflects the problems of transgender people.[1] of Wimon Chiamcharoen (Thommayanti) by The One Enterprise, Change2561 and Keng Kwang Kang, teleplay by Wattana Weerayawattana and directed by Ekkasit Trakulkasemsuk.
The novel describes the social conditions in 1988[2] in a society that does not accept the existence of transgender people, transgender people are often seen as freaks, psychopaths, and some even commit suicide[3] But when it was first made into a television drama in 2019 the perspectives on generational differences between the father and transgender son characters, transgender people's right to exist in society, and forgiveness and letting go of the past are added.[4]
