- Plot: Description This is a true story which happened in a small town in Bohol in 2005. Twenty one pupils died and almost a hundred were hospitalized after eating cassava cakes sold by an old woman, who might have accidentally used pesticide in her ingredients. She has been selling cassava cakes in that school and has a loving relationship with the children. The film follows a town's journey from painful trauma towards healing through the inter cutting points of view of two of the child survivors, and the old woman vendor. The two child survivors, in their own beguiling yet perceptive ways, slowly learn the issued of crime, prejudice and compassion as they develop friendship and accept their loss. The old woman, who is ostracized and condemned by the entire town, even by her own family, finally makes sense of the whole tragic thing and takes matters into her own hands. Answers don't come easy, but in the end redemption arrives for every soul in this town in the form of a final climactic event.
