日本皇牌監製秋元康不止一手捧紅AKB家族，在亞洲各地還遍布姊妹團，包括泰國的BNK48。為慶祝BNK48創團一周年，耗時五個月對26位團員進行貼身跟拍。在偶像少女們的眼淚背後，我們還看到什麼?作為AKB48的海外姐妹團，BNK48憑洗腦神曲「幸運餅乾」與超萌舞姿，攻陷宅男心房，但在華麗的鎂光燈後，小妮子要停學並簽下六年禁戀死約。隊長CherprangAreekul人氣高企卻高處不勝寒;成員Jib因長相不達標而遭受非議⋯⋯台上台下的人氣競賽愈來愈難行，壓力叫人窒息。《戀愛病發》(第13屆)導演納華普以新敘事風格紀錄泰國女子天團日常，在內鬥高壓的競爭實錄中突顯「我要成名」的打不死力量。

Since their debut in June 2017, idol group BNK48 – the official international sister group of Japanese pop sensation AKB48 – has taken the Thai pop music world by storm. Acclaimed director Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit (Heart Attack, HKAFF 13th) reveals the real people behind the public façade in this illuminating documentary. Through candid one-on-one interview and rare backstage footage, BNK48: Girls Don’t Cry offers a rare look into the sacrifices, tears and hard work these young girls endured on their path to become the widely adored pop stars they are today.
