The Obscured Histories and Silent Longings of Daguluan’s Children(2012)

剧情简介

Like the seasonal drying and the flooding of the river, the constant rhythm of arrival, departure and waiting characterizes the lives of the people of a remote fishing village in Southern Philippines amidst the foreboding of an armed conflict. Shot over a three-year period starting in 2009, mixing myth and reality, documentary footage and dramatized scenes, the film draws the experience of villagers from Tuldok, a 12-year-old boy, who has lost interest in coming to school; Raihana, a domestic helper in Kuwait, who returns home to a cold, indifferent husband; Junayla, heavy with yet another child.
