'Wonder Mama' <妈咪侠>, a comedy drama written and directed by acclaimed Hong Kong director Clifton Ko 高志森 and starring beloved evergreen Hong Kong actress Petrina Fung 冯宝宝, will be screening in cinemas exclusively at Filmgarde Cineplexes this June.

This movie significantly marks the return to feature filmmaking for both star and director after a long hiatus. Wonder Mama was first selected and screened at the Singapore Chinese Film Festival in April to popular acclaim, selling out the first screening which prompted the festival organizers to add a 2nd screening.

For its theatrical release at Filmgarde Cineplexes in June, both Petrina Fung and director Clifton Ko will be returning to Singapore from 15 – 21 June to promote the film.

There will be a special sneak preview screening of Wonder Mama, held in conjunction with the Singapore Film Society for elderly folks to watch the film in its original Cantonese dialogue.

[Synopsis]
Inspired by true events, “Wonder Mama”tells the story of Lovely (Petrina FUNG), a 49-year-old lady librarian on the verge of retirement, whose mellow world is catastrophically shattered as she learns that her teenage maid is impregnated by her own 70-year-old father Ng (Kenneth TSANG). Ng wants Lovely to take care of the newborn, but the whole family suspects the real father is someone else. Lovely’s disgruntled mother (Susan SIU Yam-Yam) seeks dramatic resolutions, making the house an impossible place to live. Torn between her parents’ divorce at an old age, the pressure of raising the newborn, her missing husband and her 30-year-old unemployed son who still lives with her, Lovely finds herself stymied - she can never get the peaceful, ordinary, drama-free life she desires.
