A grieving man writes a heartfelt eulogy for his late lover, grappling with the courage to publicly say goodbye to the love of his life—a man who never accepted his true identity.

Anan, a young faith healer of the Baryo Hinirang, is on his quest to find the answer behind the scarcity and death in his small community when he falls under the spell of Tres Marias, whom he encountered face-to-face. Contesting the old beliefs about the wickedness of the creature and the testimony of his grandfather, Tandang Igo, Anan gave relief to the community with the “miracle water” from the river of Tres Marias. With all the praise and adoration, the community, headed by Anan, invites the Tres Marias to live with them. Is the baryo ready for what is coming next?
