剧情：本片以上世纪六十年代的本地家庭为主轴，通过成员的际遇，带出早期的甘榜生活以及后来的组屋生活，剧情横跨数十年。 电影也将体现新加坡如何从一个以方言为主流语言的社会演变成华语到现今英语的过程，从中回顾流失的方言。它也会融入导演的许多亲身经历，并将安插多首怀旧歌曲。 After the 1969 nationwide floods, Zhao Di takes over her father's family farm with the help of reformed gangster Ah Long. As Singapore's economy prospers, the Singaporean mindset is also forced to change with the times. Osman catches his teenage son, Ahmad practicing with his rock band. As a conservative man, Osman believes rock music will have a negative influence on Ahmad. Father and son argue over their different opinions, causing Ahmad to run away. Meanwhile, Ah Hee and Rani decide to get married. But their traditional parents disapprove of their marriage. In 1977, the Government begins expropriating land for redevelopment, forcing villagers from their kampongs. Licensed farmland owners, such as Zhao Di, are financially compensated for their land. Ah Kun, Zhao Di's greedy brother accuses Zhao Di and Ah Long of having an affair to tarnish her name in front of the family. In the midst of Ah Kun's persistent accusations, Zhao Di's health takes a hit. Will Zhao Di be able to keep her hard-earned compensation money? What will become of her family if Zhao Di's health continues to deteriorate? As people change with time, will the kampong spirit remain? 连着看了两部，平平淡淡的苦日子，中间有哈哈大笑、惊心动魄 、也有咬牙切齿、更有让我鼻子发酸眼泪流下的。胖胖的奥斯曼真的好有喜感啊，后面的稽查员也很可爱，还有顺发在厕所唱歌也很是搞笑啊。重男轻女的家庭里，大女儿总是得不到父母的宠爱，甚至是被当作一个看护弟弟的保姆，一个父母的出气筒，招弟打素婷时说，你这个大女儿怎么没有看好弟弟，招弟也是大女儿啊，但是阿坤被养的好吗，素婷问妈妈，我是你亲身的吗，招弟背过身去哭了，虽然我自己不是那种处境，但是却看出了在那个时代，一个个大女儿们，戴上了重男轻女的枷锁痛苦的生活。招弟周围的人一个个被她感动，虽然过程艰辛，但是结果是好的，可是现实就是另说了。招弟辛苦一生，只为了家人能过上幸福生活，可以说是一个完全的好人了，最后她去世那一段，是我在看整部电影时，哭得最惨的部分。想到了父母都是辛苦打拼，只为了家人能好好生活，我的父母也是那样辛苦打拼过来，才有了如今的生活。试想换成我自己，当我未来有了自己的家庭，需要肩负其父母与孩子时，我该以何种姿态打拼，我会如同他们那般吃苦耐劳吗，我会像他们那样永远富有耐心葆有信心吗，我可能做不到，所以我还是需要再磨炼啊。喜欢电影最后黑幕上的那几句话，虽然在很多地方可以看见类似的，但是看了这部电影以后，又对这几句话有了更好的理解。有些幸福，是因为有些人，默默的付出，感恩之余，请珍惜。
