A compelling dramatic feature from the Philippines which starts off at dawn in a fishing village in Bataan after a tanker has spilled oil in the night. The oil threatens not just marine life but the existence of the entire community. People and animals get sick. Many villagers leave. The film chronicles the efforts of Lucia and her family to stay in the village. But the social forces at play are too strong and Lucia is powerless to stop the disintegration of her family as they are forced into the slums of Manila.
'Social realism at its most searing, relentlessly despairing but riveting.'

The accident happened shortly
before midnight yesterday,
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
the oil leak is suppose to happen crossed by
an old tanker used by the four seasons colony.
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
Turn that damn thing off. Reports… God damn.
How the hell they get the story so quickly?
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
Get up your ass and do your job. Get down
to the coast and calm everybody down.
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
I don’t want the bad press

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999

I want you to ask. You pay us damages.
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.999
Because we have no work,
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.999
we have no money. So you pay us damages.
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.999
You know what damages means?
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.999
I Know what you are talking about.
Don’t worry, we’ll see what we can do.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.999
Okay, some quick relief,
aid, as soon as possible.
