This unique series showcases Boston premieres of exciting, cutting-edge independent films in one time only screenings or short runs throughout the year.

CHOCOLATE will screen one time only at the historic Somerville Theater in Davis Square on Friday, February 13 at 11:59pm. Tickets are $8 and will be available at the Somerville Theater Box Office. More information is available at http://screenings.iffboston.org.

The director of Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior, Prachya Pinkaew, showcases with his new protégé, “Jija” Yanin Vismistananda, who trained for five years for this role. Jija plays Zen, an autistic girl who grows up next to a Muay Thai boxing studio and is raised on a steady diet of chocolate and marathon viewings of Tony Jaa and Bruce Lee films. Zen’s father, a Japanese gangster, has been driven out of the country by a rival Thai gang, forcing her mother to raise her alone. It soon becomes evident that Zen has miraculously absorbed formidable Muay Thai techniques from watching the boxers next door and repeated viewings of martial arts classics. When Zen’s mother is diagnosed with cancer and the cost of treatments prove overwhelming for the family, Zen sets out with her cousin on a violent mission to collect debts from the corrupt gangsters that owe her mother money. Featuring death-defying stunts, heart pounding action and a charming newcomer who is sure to blow the minds of martial arts fans everywhere, CHOCOLATE represents a fitting follow-up to Prachya’s smash hit Ong-Bak.
