The Woman Who Left
Drama
For Horacia Somorostro, living has become a veritable reclusion perpetua, an imprisonment. Life’s spins and randomness has been very difficult, vicious and inexplicable for her. The year is 1997. Princess Diana dies in a violent car crash. The world is saddened by the death of Mother Theresa. And the Philippines is gripped with fear. It has become the kidnap capital of Asia.
VIBE
A profound and haunting meditation on a life irrevocably altered by injustice. It's a slow, deliberate journey through isolation and the search for meaning in the face of overwhelming societal decay. The film lingers long after the credits roll.
