How to Make Millions before Grandma Dies

Lahn Mah

Once top of his class as a child, M (Putthipong Assaratanakul) now wastes his days gaming and lives off his mother. When his cousin Mui inherits a large fortune after dutifully caring for their ailing grandfather, M decides to become carer for his maternal grandmother (Usha Seamkhum). She has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and he hopes to be rewarded once she passes away. 

Despite his usual indifference to his family, M’s selfishness begins to dissipate in the face of his grandmother’s vulnerability and failing health. What follows is at times a greedy family farce, but also a feel-good, sunny, gracious portrait of family life. It’s a sentimental journey to redemption that is inspired by a true story. Don’t forget to bring your tissues!
