LOGLINE

In a small village located deep within the mountains of Antique live Pinailog (Nora Aunor). No ordinary woman, Pinailog is the village’s ‘Binukot’ or a ‘kept Maiden’ chosen in her youth as the fairest amongst the woman in her village. Long confined inside her house, Pinailog has been forbidden to go outside, or work the fields. She commands respect and reverence as the gatekeeper of her culture’s oral tradition. But as the world progresses into the modern age- the age of epics she chants about- even the very existence of the ‘binukot’ slowly deteriorates. No one wants to be ‘chosen’ anymore, least of all Duwokan (Barbie Forteza), Pinailog’s15 year old granddaughter.
