How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies

Rarely has a feature debut been as well received as this family drama by Thai director Pat Boonnitipat. Not only in Thailand itself, but in many Asian countries, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies has broken all records, making it the best-selling Thai film ever. Unadorned, Boonnitipat tells a moving and gentle story that feels utterly authentic and genuine, which is largely due to the equally wonderful and engaging acting of lead actors Usa Semkhum and Billkin .

School dropout M (Billkin) from Bangkok prefers to spend his days lazing around and gaming. When he hears that his grandmother (Semkhum ) has fallen ill, he decides to start paying more attention to her again. Not because he is so fond of her, but just because he hopes to get a piece of her inheritance this way. But as they spend more time together, to his own surprise, he becomes very close to her.
