How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies

When Ahma is diagnosed with cancer, grandson M steps in as a caregiver. Grandma has her own little house in the Chinese district of Bangkok; who knows, there might be a fair share of the inheritance in it for him. So M, who still lives with his mother, tears himself away from his gaming computer and moves in with Ahma. Not that she doesn't see through him, but she too benefits from his sudden helpfulness. And so begins a film that ultimately, and fortunately, is about much more than what the title suggests. How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies - the friendlier Thai title means something like 'grandma's grandson' - is above all a story about connectedness, with family and with the neighbourhood that marks the boundaries of grandma's world. There she stands behind her stall every morning at five o'clock to sell home-made rice porridge. Imagine being that wimp, lazy bum M retorts. Then you'd better get up a bit later.
