Synopsis

We see the elderly daily. We love them. We care for them. We donate money for them. We buy them essential items to live. We clean their homes. We try to spend time with them. They should be happy, right?

 

And yet, why do they complain so much? What do they actually want?

 

Meet Lakshmi, a 71-year-old aunty who cleans tables at the hawker centre. We just might find out a thing or two about what they need in this one-woman performance.
