The story:
Set in post-independence Singapore, it follows the struggles of widow Zhao Di (Aileen Tan) as she embarks on a journey for a better life while the nation tackles historic changes and events.
MY FELLOW Singaporeans, please watch Jack Neo's new film with your grandparents.
Nostalgic and heartfelt, it is a tender, fitting paean to our hardworking pioneer generation.
Set in a local kampung in the late 1960s, the story follows widow Zhao Di, portrayed by Aileen Tan, as she struggles to provide for her children during a time when gangsters ran amok and heavy floods destroyed homes.

Her good-for-nothing gambler brother Ah Kun (Mark Lee) gives her a constant headache while racial riots threaten her friendship with her friend Osman (Suhaimi Yusof).
Director Neo takes us on a beautiful walk down memory lane. Unlike some of his previous movies, there is no over-sentimentality in this one, which is great.
