My Positive Grandpa (2026)

Directed by Huang Li-ren and written by Jiang Suqiu, "My Positive Grandpa" is a Taiwanese drama that premiered on April 5, 2026. The film explores the complex dynamics of a family forced into three-generation cohabitation due to the pandemic, set against the backdrop of their ancestral home facing imminent foreclosure. The narrative takes a darkly comedic turn as the relatives, previously distant from one another, devise an audacious plan to infiltrate a funeral home. Their goal is to prove that their grandfather did not die from COVID-19, hoping to claim the higher funeral benefits associated with such deaths.

The story delves into the moral ambiguities and emotional shifts within the family as they navigate grief, financial desperation, and ethical compromises. By focusing on the interactions between the patriarch and his descendants, the film highlights how crisis can both fracture and forge familial bonds. The title serves as a double entendre, referring to both the medical status of the deceased and the potentially positive outcome for the living relatives if their scheme succeeds.
