For some, memory is just a thing of the past.
A favourite grandson attempts to restore his grandfathers ailing memory. A famous chicken seller, a charming dancer and a ladies man... this is what his grandfather used to be, before he was diagnosed with dementia.
However its not the past his grandfather forgets. In fact, its all he can remember. What he has forgotten is how to live in the present.
Ah Kong is a new short film written and directed by Royston Tan and presented by the Health Promotion Board.
(This is the TV commercial version at 2:00 min which is shorter than the original short film.)
