BABAYE SA BUBON

In a distant farming village, a communal well acts as the essential lifeline for its residents, uniting them in their daily battle for survival. However, when an enigmatic, memory-loss woman emerges from the well, the villagers find themselves thrown into chaos, realizing that every attempt to retrieve water results in nothing but dirt and worms. Siblings Lydia and Mario, reliant on the well like everyone else, are disturbed by the woman's presence yet choose to welcome her, offering refuge from the harsh demands of the hacienda owners and the looming dangers posed by the authorities.

KUNDOKTOR

Kundoktor is a heartfelt story of a grandfather and his granddaughter, bound together by memory, sacrifice, and love. Living with fading recollections, the grandfather often searches for the child he remembers, unaware of how time has already moved forward. Through their quiet moments together, fragments of the past and the present weave into a tender portrait of family ties. At its center is the enduring hope that dreams, even when left unfinished by one generation, may find life in the next. Subtle yet deeply emotional, the film reflects on how love transcends memory, and how unspoken sacrifices shape the future of those who come after us.
