Synopsis
Bibik Trubok, a rich widow, lives with her second daughter, Nya Itam, her son-in-law and her youngest daughter, Bongsoo. Bongsoo has a boyfriend named Hock Chuan.
Bibik's problem is that her only granddaughter, Siew Kim, wants to marry Martin, who, unfortunately, is the son of Ah Cheng. Bibik Trubok's former servant.
Bibik Trubok wants to break up the couple but does not know how to, and so she seeks help from her older daughter, Nya Puteh, a nurse. This brings to the surface the issue of generation gap as well as the interpersonal conflict around which the play revolves.
