synopsis

A passenger train travels across the landscape of the Philippines, while a monologue description of the journey presents fragments of memory and fantasy that look back at the country’s past. This graduate film by debuting filmmaker Jet Leyco is not based on a fixed script, but was made intuitively and spontaneously on location. Documentary approaches are mixed with stages elements in order to create a hypnotic mixture at whose centre lies the search for the unexplained resignation of the police officers defending the train against vandals.
