Plot
Ana, a young filipina filmmaker, shoots a re-enactment of a fight she once had with her mother - a fight brought on by mutual refusals to communicate. Echoing the cultural pressure from her mother to work beyond her natural limits, Ana rewrites every single insult into a chance for forgiveness. As the story of her film diverges further and further from the memory of what happened, she questions whether her creative additions amount to yet another repression of the truth.
