- General note - An autobiographical story of the filmmaker's search for his missing father. Leaving Manila for Iloilo, the filmmaker (Nick Deocampo) reflects on his life in the city and how he has turned his back on his past. Asking about his father's whereabouts. he hears many stories that hardly provide any answers to his questions. He embarks on a journey to the places where is rumored to have been sighted. Unable to find his father, the filmmaker reflects on his own life looking for meanings to explain his father's disappearance, Fron the personal to the historical, he looks for reasons to the many questions about his family that suffered as a consequence of war. Extending the meaning of war to include his own, the filmmaker reveals his own private war-battling to reconcile himself with his own sexuality and with the political war he experienced during the period of Martial Law. Resigned to losing his father he laments over his own sense of loss while walking in a seashore where he imagines finding his father and being able to grieve over his disappearance.
