Think about this.

You're old.

You're about to kick the bucket.

You own a 3 room flat in Toa Payoh.

You have 3 ungrateful children, of which, one can't stop thinking about her inheritance, the other can't remember who you are and the last doesn't even want to acknowledge you as her own. The only one you can trust can't even stand up on her own two feet. What do you do? Washing dirty linen in public couldn't get any dirtier than this. Base on a true story, but of course with drama sikit, Awake with Nenek addressed the age-old question that has been on many Singaporean's minds since the word HDB came about, "Who's going to get the 3 room flat?" Even if they don't necessarily deserve to get it.

Written and Directed by Tian Lye, AWAKE WITH NENEK also features familiar faces such as Josephine Tan (H is for Hantu), Edward Choy (H is for Hantu), S Karthik (Uncle Taxi - Vasantham). Crispian Chan, Grace Kalai, Muhd Ruzaini B Mazani and Aarathi. A.

AWAKE WITH NENEK is a comedy that promises to make you laugh, cry, jeer and even wonder if your own relatives are doing the very same thing behind your back right now.
