As her childhood best friend prepares to depart for the US, a college student navigates her academic pursuits, strained family relationships, and a growing dread of the inevitable goodbye. ‘Sandy’ is a film about grief, memory, and how sometimes life forces you to bend into uncomfortable shapes as you go through it. Entirely self-funded and shot over two years in Davao City and Panabo City, it’s a love letter to the places and people we lose...or that lose us.

Migo, a Linguistic student, goes back to his hometown to annotate the language in the area. He finds out that the place was not what it used to be. He traverses around the place and sees fragments of his childhood friend Ami, who speaks a different language. The deeper he goes into the memories of the place, the more something in him echoes why he has returned.

Migo and his family are new settlers in the area. He then tries to maintain his newfound friendship with Ami despite having different languages.
