Leonor Reyes (Sheila Francisco) used to write scripts for successful action films, but now she's retired and more annoyed by unpaid electricity bills. When she reads an ad for scripts, she wants to finish and send in her last, unfinished script about the revenge of Ronwaldo, whose brother was killed by thugs. However, due to an accident with a television set, Leonor falls into a coma and finds herself in her unfinished film. Now it's up to her and her son to set things right - in reality as much as in the film, because the perfect ending is needed! The constant stylistic changes make this a wonderful homage to cinema ...
Director's Biography:The young Martika Ramirez Escobar studied at the Film Institute of the Philippine University and became a cinematographer and director for various short films. After years of work, her feature film debut is immediately awarded a prize at the Sundance Film Festival!
