Ilo Ilo

ILO ILO depicts the dynamics of a Singapore middle-class family, caught in the midst of the 1997 financial crisis. A Filipina maid enters their household. Teresa is an eternally patient, hard-working woman, always willing to go the extra mile to keep her job, but still sticking to her own principles. The four characters, mother, father, their brat son and maid Teresa get a multilevel treatment in this film.
