LOGLINE
Although old and sickly, Nanay Lusing still works by selling blankets, pillows and mats in her small store. She lives alone in a big house up north. None of her five sons stay with her since each has his own work and life pursuit. Every night, Nana Lusing lies on her bed sleepless because she sees a dark figure looming in her room. Who is this shadow? Is this the devil? Her late husband? A manifestation of her anxieties? Or simply a figment of Nana Lusing’s imagination? Diablo is a minimalist approach to the story of a mother’s journey and her sons’ eccentricities. The deliberate fashion and sparse dialogue as the story unravels show the ambiguity of the setting and characters and underscore the values of unity, love and family.
