Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Elders see the younger generations as eyesores because of their overly 'westernised' (wild/carefree) behaviour and poor morals. Whilst the youngsters on the other hand, have no time for their elders, who to them seem to belong in a museum. Sadly, this is a growing global phenomenon. It is the director's intent to tell this tale in a witty, comical manner and in doing so, hoping that this little slice of life will touch the audiences' hearts. |
