A dentist in mid-life-crisis who hates his job, finally decides to break away from his kiasu environment and pursue his long repressed childhood dream...Acting.
The Hokkien word KIASU (Pà Shu) translates to "fear of losing out". A slang which refers to a very widespread social practice in Asia on maintaining "face" and for parents, this manifests itself into comparing their own children with others. Very often, due to the parent's kiasu attitude, a child's dream is ignored if deemed unprestigious. This is the central theme of KIASU, a comedy drama.—Anonymous
