About This Program

The programme is a single‑episode drama centred on a family dispute that ends up in court. It follows a mother who decides to take legal action against her daughter, turning a private financial disagreement into a public lawsuit. At the heart of the case, the mother claims that she advanced her daughter money to cover bail and to pay rent. In addition, she seeks compensation for the value of a car that was seized by the police while it was in the daughter’s possession. The claim therefore combines repayment of cash loans with a demand for the vehicle’s worth. The legal filing sets out three distinct categories of loss: the bail loan, the rent assistance, and the seized automobile. By listing each element, the mother aims to recover the total sum she believes she is owed. The suit highlights how financial support within a family can become a source of contention when expectations about repayment are not met. The episode follows the progression of the lawsuit, showing how the mother’s grievances are presented to the court and how the daughter must respond to the allegations. It underscores the complexities that arise when personal relationships intersect with legal proceedings, especially when money and property are involved.
