A middle-aged, Korean-drama obsessed widow from Singapore travels out of the country for the first time to Seoul, and ends up getting lost. Her journey becomes an unexpected road of self discovery, as she comes to terms with the life she truly wants for herself, beyond her roles of daughter, wife and mother.
He Shuming is a writer-director from Singapore. He was educated at the Puttnam School of Film and Animation, LASALLE College of The Arts in Singapore and then at the American Film Institute Conservatory (AFI), where he completed his MFA in directing. AJOOMMA is his debut feature film.
Most recently, he was conferred the Young Artist Award by the National Arts Council, one of the most distinguished honors for the arts in Singapore.
