BANGKOK, Thailand – The Contemporary World Film Series returns to TK Park in Bangkok with the screening of “How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies” as the opening film of its 2025 program. Directed by Pat Boonnitipat, the acclaimed Thai drama will be shown on Saturday, 29 March, at 4:00 p.m. and will include a post-screening reception and a Q&A session with the director.
The story follows a young man, “M,” who agrees to care for his terminally ill grandmother in hopes of inheriting her property.
