How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies

A young Thai director wraps important questions about family, intergenerational ties, and the pursuit of happiness into a touching dramedy that broke all box office records at home and became a cultural phenomenon.

When Grandma Amah is diagnosed with a terminal illness, young M sees an opportunity: hoping that his devotion will be rewarded, he takes on the task of caring for her. But he soon learns that winning over the sharp-witted old lady won’t be easy. To make matters worse, M isn’t the only one vying for her inheritance. And time is running out...

People told me that our film healed their families and mended their hearts. /…/ I was surprised by how it inspired many to spend more time with the elderly. I've noticed that many young people in Thailand now take their grandparents out—not just to the cinema, but also to restaurants and other places.
