Teck, a prickly retiree has just suffered a stroke that leaves one side of his body paralysed. When he insists on moving back home, his daughter Jenny, decides to hire a caregiver – Yanti, a young Indonesian domestic worker who has never been to Singapore.
At first, Yanti dutifully follows the detailed regime that Jenny has drawn up. But Teck has his own stubborn opinions on how he should be cared for.
