In this time-defying, satirical adaptation of Miguel López de Legazpi's archived letters, the 16th-century Spanish expedition instead encounters present-day Cebu. The same difficulties with the island’s natives lead to their decision to leave for the other Philippine islands.

In the heart of Cebu’s chaotic streets, a woman clings to fleeting dreams and fading memories as she searches for a place of refuge in a world that no longer sees her.
