A young boy journeys through the red trails leading to a mythical city in the hope to resurrect his parents.
SYNOPSIS
The life of Rene, a young man from Sag-Od in Las Navas, Northern Samar, is upended by the brutal Sag-Od massacre that claims his parents. Driven by grief and desperation, Rene learns of the mythical Biringan where he might have a chance to save his parents. Embarking on a perilous quest through dense forests and treacherous terrains, Rene faces supernatural challenges and confronts his own fears. As he delves deeper into the enigma of Biringan, he discovers that the line between myth and reality is perilously thin and learns the true power of belief and love.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES
I was never acutely aware of my privilege more so than when the pandemic hit. While I was fortunate enough to be comfortable, countless others were struggling and literally fighting for their lives. That awakened feeling has turned into some sort of guilt of having privilege in this exaggerated class divide.
We all saw this out-of-touch apathy with a lot of the privileged, but it made me ask myself if I’m also guilty of that same ignorance. In this unequal world, how could you not feel guilt for having more and not doing anything about it? I realized that what really just separates all of us is luck.
Some are just lucky enough to have a life on the right side of the tracks, and it feels like there’s not much we can do in this reality of exploitative class systems. It may seem that we feel helpless and we have no choice in that sense, but I’d like to believe that we at least have a choice to treat each other with empathy, not apathy. To be compassionate and not ignorant. To use whatever privilege we have not for our own benefit, but to help uplift others.
