Thailand's Oscar submission follows a young man who schemes to win his grandmother’s favour before she passes.

This charming comedy-drama set attendance records across Southeast Asia and claimed the audience award at New York’s Asian Film Festival. It tells the story of M (Putthipong Assaratanakul), who finds out about his grandmother's (Usha Seamkhum) terminal illness.
