Leonor, a former star writer of Filipino action flicks, shares an apartment with her son Rudie. They struggle to pay the bills and argue endlessly. One day, Leonor stumbles upon her unfinished magnum opus about a young man, Ronwaldo, who is trying to avenge his brother’s death and save his lover from demise. When a television falls on her head, Leonor falls into a coma. While those around her try to bring her back, Leonor is transported into the world of her unfinished script, giving her another chance to finally complete her masterpiece.

Joyfully moving from Pinoy action to surrealism to musical numbers, director Martika RAMIREZ ESCOBAR’s debut feature celebrates cinema in all its complexity. Her cross-genre experiment is one of sheer delight, while at the same time a sincere family drama about a mother’s troubled relationship with her son that mends into something beautiful.
