SYNOPSIS:
M is a lazy college dropout. When he hears that his grandmother has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, he becomes her career in hopes of inheriting her fortune. However, M’s grandmother isn’t an easy one to please.
Despite its seemingly cynical setup, this brilliantly insightful drama finds plenty of laughs and tears while exposing everything that families don’t talk about when they talk about family. Not only was the film a critical and commercial hit across Asia, it is also the first Thai film to be shortlisted in the final 15 of the Academy Awards’ Best International Film race.
