In 1980s Bacolod City, a young man aspires to continue the family legacy by winning an inter-city pastry competition with the help of his feuding grandfather and grandmother.
A young man goes to the mountain to escape his reality and while there, he is confronted by events that draw a very thin line between mystery and self-discovery.
Years after their breakup, Martin and Joey reconnect over dinner in Silay City and reminisce about the past. As they talk, they discover new truths about themselves and each other, leading them to question whether closure is truly possible for the two of them. But when they stumble upon the iconic story of the woman who never spoke again, they realize that it's never too late to forgive, let go, and move on.
Several cases of killings and human rights violations were not reported because of the stinging climate of fear among victims, families of victims, community members, and even journalists. Still, two young journalists persist in taking on a journey to truth-finding and documentation of how sugarcane farmers in Negros Island assert their land rights and stand up against violence and killings.
The film is about a woman who dives into the abyss not knowing what will happen next, and goes through so many struggles and changes along the way. She has two options: to give up and drift away or to gather all her strength to fight and survive.
