Aguila

Daniel Aguila’s son recounts memories of the Philippines as he searches for his father.

Flashbacks encompass the history of the Philippines as well as the life story of the elderly Daniel Aguila. The Aguila family gathers to celebrate Daniel’s 88th birthday, but the old man is nowhere to be seen–he has been missing for a decade. Suspecting that his father is in Mindanao, one of his sons takes off for that region in a determined search. Along the way, his memories of the nation and his father’s life tell the story of 80 tumultuous years of personal and historical development.
