so what story does this tell?

the following content contains some spoilers, please do not read if you don’t like it!

01

the story begins in the chinese community in bangkok.

one day, mingzai, a young man who had always been idle, took the initiative to visit his elderly grandmother and said he would take care of her.

when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

sure enough, mingzi had a purpose.


some time ago, his deceased grandfather left his property to his cousin who had always taken care of him, and mingzi kept this in mind.

recently mingzai learned that his grandmother has stage 4 colon cancer and will live at most one year.

mingzai started to make plans.

he dropped out of college and has no proper job. if he could get his grandmother's house, wouldn't his life be much better?

so, mingzi decided to do this "family deal" and sold all his computers to show his courtesy.



since mingzi could come up with an idea, grandma's children naturally knew about it too.

grandma has three children.

the eldest son had a serious illness when he was young, and his grandmother never ate beef in her life in order to pray for buddha’s blessing.



when the eldest son grew up, he got married and bought a big house, but he never took his grandmother to see it. he only listened to his wife.

after learning that his grandmother was seriously ill, the eldest son said he wanted to take his mother away to take care of her and become a "full-time son."

to put it bluntly, it's also for the house.


grandma’s second daughter, mingzi’s mother, is the most sensible and filial child.

she dropped out of school when she was young to help with housework, and when she grew up she continued to take care of the housework and was always willing to work hard.

just because she was a daughter, she was never taken seriously.


grandma's youngest son is the least promising one.

not only has he achieved nothing, he is also in debt everywhere. every time he comes home, he tries every possible way to ask for money.

he even stole all the savings that grandma had saved from working day and night selling porridge, but grandma didn't really blame him...



in the process of mingzai doing this "family business", he got to know his grandmother better and better, and saw everything.

gradually, "true love" appeared in the "fake play".

and how could grandma not know what her children and grandchildren were thinking?


02

people's fear of death does not disappear as they get older.

my grandma is very old and has a terminal illness. although she pretends to be relaxed on the surface, she is actually very afraid of death.

when she had nightmares at night, she would shout in minnan dialect: "dad, mom, come pick me up, i'm scared."


when facing death, grandma also has her own plans.

when my grandmother was young, her parents arranged a marriage for her and married her to a very bad man.

after her parents passed away, they left most of their inheritance to her grandmother's brother, and she got nothing.

now, she is waiting to die in a cramped old house, while her brother and his family live in a big villa and lead a prosperous life.


grandma only has one last wish:

buy a decent cemetery plot.

you know, a good cemetery costs at least 1 million thai baht. grandma definitely can't afford it, so she can only ask my brother for help.


but no one expected that the brother who was just reminiscing about the past would immediately turn hostile after hearing this:

"just give me all the money mom left behind, so you don't have to spend it all on your gambling husband. a married woman is like spilled water, you are not allowed to come to my house again!"

grandma's condition continued to worsen, so she went to the hospital for chemotherapy. her sons were left alone, and it was the second daughter who took care of her.


mingzai saw his mother busying around and asked her if she had any ulterior motive.

ming's mother only said:

"my mother is sick, isn't it my duty to take care of her? otherwise people will say i am unfilial."


in the end, grandma left the house to her third son who was the least ambitious.

mingzai was angry and distressed:

"how can you be so stupid that you don't even know you've fallen in love with the wrong person!"

grandma didn't say anything. perhaps she just wanted to complete her last mission as a mother and protect her incompetent little son.


at this moment, the bullet hit right between the eyebrows.

my grandmother’s family immigrated from chaozhou to bangkok. she was once a victim of traditional ideas, but she also became an invisible inheritor.

love and hate, resentment and hatred, right and wrong, in the unclear account of family affection, all turned into a sigh.



the above is part of the plot of this film.

to be honest, in terms of plot, this film has nothing new to offer, and almost everyone can guess how the story will develop.

but the movie uses the simplest language and the most delicate shots to reveal the most "unspeakable" part of east asian family affection.



when all this warmth, reality and cruelty are presented before the audience one by one, tears naturally flow from their eyes.

perhaps only we ourselves know the various feelings involved.

overall, this is definitely a film worth watching this year.

if you like it, you can go to the cinema to watch it!
