Des, a sixteen-year old, has experienced being fingered as early as the age of seven. At age fourteen, she was raped by the same uncle and was sold by her aunt to Foreigners. She was brought to PREDA for her to recover from the incidents that happened. As she evolves and heals from it, she builds up her life again by staying and graduating junior highschool. Her graduation also marks her release from this facility. This sets her into a new journey of adjustments and new beginnings as she starts her studies in senior high.
As she opens up to a new beginning, her story complicates with the law cases filed against her uncle and aunt.These cases are ongoing and the trials are yet to be made. For a young child that only wants to move forward with her life she is faced with the fear of the past.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES
I made this film as a tribute to my hometown Sagay City, Negros Occidental, to my mother, and most of all, to my grandfather. I always miss the moments we had before he succumbed to Alzheimer’s disease.
