synopsis

Pod is a migrant worker from up-country who drifts from job to job: chopping his finger off in a sardine factory, becoming a security guard and eventually a taxi driver. He meets Jin, a maid who has her nose perpetually buried in a mysterious white book written in a foreign language that she dreams of someday understanding. Pod is smitten. But the Jin becomes obsessed with a hippie westerner and the environmental movement. Somehow, Pod becomes a celebrity because he is the only guy in Bangkok without a tail. If he grows one, he?ll just be one of the crowd, a ?Citizen Dog? alluded to in the title.
