Q:  Can you tell me about your feelings on ‘Nay Win Eait Tan Tat’?

A: In the film, my character was a mature man to whom a young girl tries to get close. The man must protect his family, dignity and pride. I also wanted to highlight the professional ethics of a physician. The message of the film is how to live in old age without having regrets about what we’ve done before. I believe audiences will benefit from the movie.
