We all need a little Matalada in our lives, a face full of smiles for gay dads, sad doctors, and stray dogs. A smile that warms you from within, Matalada is love personified. She gives away free smiles and wants nothing back, well maybe a slice of cake.  If you have not seen Matalada, or To the Moon and Back, a lakorn starring James Ji and Toey Charinporn, as Heart Doctor Purim (or Penneung) and Matalada (or Mata), you are in for a delightful slice of life lakorn foray. It is not all about rainbows and butterflies as I seem to be depicting, but amidst the pain and trauma, there is an uplifting message of acts of kindness and the journey to healing.
