Gohan Thailand 2026 - Filmfestival Box Office Around The World 2026

The Schlüterhof will become a gathering place for film enthusiasts from all over the world—complete with summer drinks and snacks. The open-air festival presents six recent films that are “box office hits” in their countries of origin but have not yet been shown on the big screen in Germany. Before the

screenings, we invite you to themed spotlights to get you in the mood—featuring celebrity guests!

The Box Office Around the World festival presents six current feature films over two weekends in August; these films are audience favorites and box-office hits in their countries of origin but have not yet been shown on the big screen in Germany.

Representatives from Berlin’s communities from Thailand, Argentina, Nigeria, Vietnam, Brazil, and India selected the films together with curator Dorothee Wenner and developed an accompanying program: Before the open-air screenings, we’ll shine a thematic spotlight on each film—featuring a star-studded lineup.

Gohan - Chayanop Boonprakob, Atta Hemwadee, Baz Poonpiriya / Thailand 2026 

In the film’s first episode, Gohan is still just a white ball of wool with a pink nose, wandering all alone in front of a 7-Eleven supermarket in Chonburi. A lonely Japanese manager nearing retirement takes the puppy home. He gives Gohan the most wonderful childhood a puppy could ever wish for—and is richly rewarded for it. But the happiness is short-lived. As an adult dog, a brave Burmese migrant rescues him from the clutches of an animal abuser; together, the two fugitives flee to Bangkok. Although Namcha is deported from there and Gohan is left to fend for himself again—the Burmese woman has achieved a victory. In the third episode, Gohan is an elderly dog who is adopted at the train station by a young Thai artist couple. He returns the favor and, through his presence and wise nature, guides the somewhat confused couple toward romantic happiness…

The episodes, which vary greatly in style, were directed by three Thai filmmakers. What unites them, aside from the four-legged “lead actor,” is their interest in the astonishing effects dogs can have on people: a film that will make you cry and laugh! The story of a dog’s life captivated Thai audiences so much that GOHAN became the box-office hit of the year (and its adult star went on to become a TikTok sensation!)
