In the shadow of Typhoon Yolanda's devastation on the remote Itbayat island in the Philippines, young Mendoza grapples with his mother's mysterious disappearance. Directed by Carlo Francisco Manatad, this poignant 2021 feature film from Cinematografica Films—produced by Armi Rae Cacanindin on a modest 30,000€ budget—blends raw grief, local folklore, and eerie supernatural hints as the boy uncovers buried traumas amid a tight-knit community's slow healing. Starring rising talent Janry Tangonan alongside veteran Gloria Diaz, it captures the fragile beauty and lingering scars of disaster-struck lives, earning praise at international festivals for its intimate storytelling and stunning Batanes visuals. A must-watch for fans of Filipino cinema exploring resilience and the uncanny.
