In this evocative drama directed by Shea Formanes, a young woman’s quiet life in a remote Philippine village is upended when she discovers an ancient, mystical connection to the land and its spirits. The story follows Maria, portrayed by Rachel Alejandro, a reserved caretaker who begins experiencing vivid visions of a forest deity, or diwata, that seems to be calling her home. As she delves deeper into these supernatural encounters, Maria must navigate the skepticism of her family, including her pragmatic mother played by Amor Owens and her protective brother brought to life by Emilio Sibulo. The central conflict emerges when a logging company threatens to destroy the sacred grove where the diwata resides, forcing Maria to choose between her modern obligations and her spiritual calling. With a hauntingly beautiful score and lush cinematography, the film blends folklore with intimate human drama, exploring themes of heritage, environmental stewardship, and the invisible threads that bind us to nature. The ensemble cast, including Samantha Herrera and Eloisa Cardona, brings depth to this poignant tale of faith and resistance.
