 A young woman returns home from her grandmother’s funeral. As her day unfolds, she begins to feel the magnitude of her grief when a spirit transports her through moments from her childhood. In every simple thing she does – cooking, watching TV, even brushing her hair, her Lola (Grandmother in Tagalog) is with her. |
