Charis San Juan

Ramon (18) woke up in a dark and cramped room. Beside him was an old man named Fredo (63) who was desperately carving at the wall to make a hole. The place they were in was dimly lit, and the only sounds they could hear were their breathing and the scraping noise of the nail against the wall. As they spent long hours making the hole, they also got to know each other and reminisced about their experiences that led them to their current situation. The hole exposed how thirty people managed to fit into a small jail cell behind a bookshelf, unveiling the mystery of the confinement and injustice system.

Following the story of Timer, a disillusioned romantic man, who is wondering about this lady, Naroa, who keeps on showing up mysteriously around him. Until one day, after waking up from the night of drinking, he was finally able to talk to Naroa. Naroa then decided to invite Timer to show him the truth in her life. Even though Timer was hesitant, he still went with Naroa and joined her journey. Timer kept on asking Naroa about her name since she hasn’t told him anything about it. Naroa disrupted him. Naroa brought Timer in the seashore. Naroa's resting place. Sitting on the sand, Timer and Naroa starts to become comfortable with each other. Timer falls asleep next to Naroa. She left her necklace to Timer while telling him how happy she was. The next day, Naroa is nowhere to be seen. He felt something in his hand, it was Naroa’s necklace. He then ran everywhere calling Naroa’s name, until he saw her and ran towards her. But as he reached her, Naroa vanished.
