This is a dramatic feature film with comedic elements, based on the tragic experiences of The Pablos, a real Filipino family that lost their home and several family members during 2013's Typhoon Haiyan. The Pablos (non-actors) play themselves in scenes that reenact their quiet struggle to recover after the storm. The family’s journey is interwoven with the story of two young Canadian volunteers attempting to play a meaningful role in local efforts to recover from the storm.
"It's about First World/Third World inequality, climate-changed superstorms, cultures clashing and virtue signalling volunteerism. So it's tragic and infuriating and yeah, kind of funny, when you look at it." — Movie Nation
