This (Canadian production) story is interesting because it shows how Josephine (M'sian living in Singapore) unlearns her $inkee traits and learn to adapt. In her case, she use religion to overcome her despression.

Desmond Chua is Singaporean.

一份工作合约将从事多年商贸工作的蔡逸浩从新加坡带到巴拿马,两年後,与订下婚盟的女友一同在这里结婚定居。当初以为能够享受团聚的欢欣,可是妻子难以适应生活上的改变,_令她走入了抑鬱愁苦的深渊。怎知道一个患有残疾的小孤女,却让她重燃生命的火光,学懂放开自己的重担,让夫妇俩可以欣然携手面对明天
