Event Details

This ain’t a sob story about war crimes, dementia, or getting old. It’s a sprint down memory lane of a butt-kickin’’, bar-spittin,’ tough grandma who escapes the care home to be with her family. When our favourite Filipino grandma, Lola Basyang, goes missing, it’s up to her grandchildren, Nika and Jun-jun, to bring her back to safety. Using their Lola’s unfinished memoir, they find clues to her whereabouts, her full-of-beans origin story and the historical turmoils of their motherland. Reminiscent of their immigration stories, they reflect on what it means to maintain family ties in a Western society.
