A mysterious man is found in the mountains after a rural earthquake. Could he be the cause of all the natural disasters that have devastated the region?
Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winner Don Josephus Raphael Eblahan’s enigmatic eco-tale finds a zoologist, a sound recordist and a news team attempting to unravel the appearance of a young man who seems more animal than human – if he’s even a physical being at all. This remarkable new work of Filipino cinema is a profound exploration of technology, alienation and the natural world, with an ambient air and slippery sense of reality that nods to the oeuvre of the great Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Cemetery of Splendour, MIFF 2015).
