Thailand's first-ever Oscar-shortlisted film focuses on M, a college dropout who hopes to inherit millions of dollars from his grandmother, who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But winning the affection of his hard-to-please grandmother is no easy task, and he is not the only contender for the inheritance. He embarks on an uphill battle to become his grandmother's favorite before time runs out. Inspired by a true story, this emotional drama not only became the highest-grossing film of the year in Thailand, but also enjoyed widespread success throughout Southeast Asia. Usha Seamkhum's impressive performance captured the hearts of audiences, transforming her into the figure of a “national grandmother.”
