On a cruise ship off the Patagonian coasts, a crewman discovers a magical portal leading into a woman's apartment. Simultaneously, villagers happen upon a frightening concrete hut near their settlement in the Philippines. Two stories are woven into a cinematographic labyrinth where people overlap and lose themselves. Somewhere between dark engine rooms and middle-class living rooms, between the sea and the jungle, individuals observe one another with curiosity, skepticism and anxiety.

00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:13.542
Here it is.
00:04:24.375 --> 00:04:27.167
I found it when I came to gather firewood.
00:04:27.167 --> 00:04:30.042
I don't often come here.
00:04:30.792 --> 00:04:33.292
I've never seen it before.
00:04:34.625 --> 00:04:36.917
The grass around is tall.
00:04:45.125 --> 00:04:47.958
It looks like it's been here for a long time...
00:04:47.958 --> 00:04:51.333
because of the moss it has.
00:04:52.125 --> 00:04:55.375
Why are we only seeing it now though?
00:04:59.875 --> 00:05:01.958
Don't open it!
00:05:01.958 --> 00:05:03.625
It might be cursed.
00:05:03.625 --> 00:05:05.125
Stand back.
00:05:05.125 --> 00:05:06.208
Listen...
00:05:06.208 --> 00:05:08.667
We should watch the shed.
00:05:09.125 --> 00:05:13.000
Felix and Carding...
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.250
you will stay tonight.
00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:19.167
I'll ask my wife to prepare
you something for dinner.
00:05:20.542 --> 00:05:22.083
- Shall we leave now?
- Yes.
00:05:22.083 --> 00:05:23.333
Let's leave.
00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:26.875
Keep watch.
00:05:26.875 --> 00:05:27.958
Ok.
00:05:29.208 --> 00:05:30.333
Take care.
00:05:30.333 --> 00:05:31.917
Make sure that nobody goes inside.
00:06:20.667 --> 00:06:23.208
We need to discuss this with everyone.
00:06:25.542 --> 00:06:29.167
To decide what to do about the shed...
00:06:29.667 --> 00:06:31.708
and organize the next shifts.
00:06:32.792 --> 00:06:39.042
Tomorrow night Noli and Efren will stand guard.
00:06:40.792 --> 00:06:41.833
Ok.
00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:43.625
No problem.
00:06:45.083 --> 00:06:48.958
I'd rather not stand guard at night.
00:06:48.958 --> 00:06:52.083
I think we should inform
to the authorities instead.
00:06:53.458 --> 00:06:54.375
No.
00:06:54.375 --> 00:06:56.875
We will not inform to the authorities.
00:06:56.875 --> 00:07:00.042
They won't help.
00:07:00.042 --> 00:07:03.417
And too many people will find out.
00:07:09.125 --> 00:07:12.333
I don't want to go.
00:07:12.333 --> 00:07:14.750
You should do it anyway.
00:07:17.792 --> 00:07:19.333
Ok.
00:08:36.958 --> 00:08:39.583
- That's the way down over here.
- Ok.
00:08:48.708 --> 00:08:49.958
Here we are.
00:08:49.958 --> 00:08:51.583
Glad you came.
00:08:52.625 --> 00:08:56.417
We didn't get much sleep.
00:08:56.417 --> 00:08:59.250
- It's really cold.
- Come closer to the fire.
00:09:03.208 --> 00:09:05.292
Joey says he heard vibrations...
00:09:05.292 --> 00:09:07.250
coming from inside.
00:09:07.708 --> 00:09:09.625
You should go back home.
00:09:09.625 --> 00:09:11.333
We will take over.
00:09:11.333 --> 00:09:12.042
Thank you.
00:09:12.667 --> 00:09:15.083
We will try to be careful...
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.250
to listen for strange noises.
00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:19.083
Ok.
00:09:57.375 --> 00:09:58.542
Noli!
00:10:09.583 --> 00:10:10.750
Noli!
00:10:15.250 --> 00:10:16.417
Are you ok?
00:10:16.750 --> 00:10:17.375
Yes.
00:10:44.708 --> 00:10:45.875
Noli...
00:10:53.083 --> 00:10:54.875
What are you doing here?
00:10:54.875 --> 00:10:56.667
Why aren't you
sleeping with your wife?
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.417
I can't go back.
00:11:03.458 --> 00:11:05.875
I had a dream whilst guarding the shed.
00:11:07.917 --> 00:11:11.208
I dreamt I was inside the shed
and I could see my house.
00:11:11.208 --> 00:11:13.583
When I entered the house
I could see a snake swallowing my wife...
00:11:13.583 --> 00:11:15.750
and then my little daughter as well.
00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:19.167
And then it became huge...
00:11:25.125 --> 00:11:31.375
and slowly started
destroying the village.
00:11:32.292 --> 00:11:37.500
The spirits of the
mount may be testing you.
00:11:40.042 --> 00:11:42.125
You need to get some rest.
00:11:42.917 --> 00:11:44.542
You don't want?
00:11:44.542 --> 00:11:46.042
I don't know.
00:11:46.708 --> 00:11:48.750
What if it becomes true?
00:11:50.042 --> 00:11:52.292
They are only dreams.
00:11:52.292 --> 00:11:53.917
They have no power.
00:11:53.917 --> 00:11:57.458
So what's the point in worring about them?
00:11:57.458 --> 00:11:59.625
Let it go.
00:12:00.792 --> 00:12:02.542
They won't come true.
00:12:15.667 --> 00:12:19.000
Ah Noli, come and have a drink.
00:15:52.917 --> 00:15:54.792
Attention all crew.
00:15:55.958 --> 00:15:59.833
In a few minutes we will be starting the security exercises.
00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:05.792
We ask you to go to your master stations.
00:16:05.792 --> 00:16:07.333
Thank you.
00:16:31.792 --> 00:16:33.250
You missed your shift once.
00:16:33.250 --> 00:16:35.333
Then you missed your shift a second time.
00:16:35.333 --> 00:16:37.208
Then a third time.
00:16:38.208 --> 00:16:41.458
Now you go to clean the boats.
00:16:41.458 --> 00:16:43.000
If it happens again...
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.333
you have to leave.
00:20:06.458 --> 00:20:08.500
Hey, have you seen the boy?
00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:09.375
No.
00:20:09.708 --> 00:20:10.792
Why?
00:20:11.667 --> 00:20:13.417
Nobody seen him.
00:20:28.958 --> 00:20:30.750
Boy!
00:20:35.792 --> 00:20:37.500
Boy!
00:23:43.833 --> 00:23:45.542
Hello?
00:23:47.917 --> 00:23:49.417
Is anyone there?
00:24:48.417 --> 00:24:52.833
Victory on penalities for Nacional against Cali.
00:24:52.833 --> 00:24:55.458
We will be commenting on some other details...
00:24:55.458 --> 00:24:58.500
linked to the transfer market.
00:24:58.500 --> 00:25:02.167
National just received Marcos Angeleri...
00:25:02.167 --> 00:25:04.792
who, curiously, scored yesterday.
00:25:04.792 --> 00:25:06.458
Well, lets see some of the action...
00:25:06.458 --> 00:25:08.167
of the match that closed the double day...
00:25:08.167 --> 00:25:11.208
Just as yesterday we saw Peñarol's
victory over Millionarios...
00:25:11.208 --> 00:25:14.958
This is a curious goal: it reflects off Magallanes
and relocates the goalkeeper Centurión.
00:25:14.958 --> 00:25:19.542
A penalty on each side, because
it broke the net and it was a goal.
00:25:19.542 --> 00:25:24.125
Here is the decisive one that the young
National goalkeeper stops for the tricolour victory.
00:25:24.125 --> 00:25:27.083
We have our last break and we go
to the movies with Jackie Rodriguez Stratta.
00:25:27.083 --> 00:25:28.083
We'll be back.
00:25:28.083 --> 00:25:32.167
From this Monday, at the end of Master Chef...
00:25:34.917 --> 00:25:36.875
Dad, where is mom now?
00:25:38.708 --> 00:25:40.708
Our things are outside!
00:25:40.708 --> 00:25:42.792
Please help us!
00:25:47.542 --> 00:25:49.750
Are we going to live here?
00:26:15.958 --> 00:26:17.583
Take something with us.
00:26:17.583 --> 00:26:19.208
Give him a beer.
00:26:21.333 --> 00:26:23.250
And you, hotty?
00:26:25.875 --> 00:26:26.833
Water.
00:26:26.833 --> 00:26:28.208
Good idea, honey.
00:26:31.708 --> 00:26:33.292
You want a Sake?
00:26:34.542 --> 00:26:36.708
Whisky.
00:26:40.625 --> 00:26:42.667
How old am I, twelve?
00:27:39.208 --> 00:27:40.333
Boy!
00:27:41.708 --> 00:27:46.000
When you finish here
you go to the deck four downstairs, ok?
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:47.292
At the stern.
00:27:47.292 --> 00:27:48.000
Ok!
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:49.333
Make sure everything goes well.
00:31:29.167 --> 00:31:30.167
Hello.
00:32:15.792 --> 00:32:17.208
Nobody is here.
00:32:17.917 --> 00:32:19.292
That's odd...
00:32:29.375 --> 00:32:32.000
He couldn't get in from here either.
00:32:34.625 --> 00:32:37.125
Are you sure you don't want me
to call the police?
00:32:39.917 --> 00:32:42.167
No, no...
00:32:43.167 --> 00:32:44.833
But I saw him...
00:32:44.833 --> 00:32:49.208
He is a little bit shorter than me,
he was wearing blue...
00:32:49.208 --> 00:32:51.542
He rushed out...
00:32:54.417 --> 00:32:56.333
He isn't here now.
00:32:58.833 --> 00:33:02.625
Please call me if something happens.
00:33:05.417 --> 00:33:06.333
I don't understand.
00:33:10.542 --> 00:33:12.042
Thank you so much.
00:34:33.375 --> 00:34:35.417
I know you are here.
00:34:37.042 --> 00:34:38.708
Where are you?
00:35:22.250 --> 00:35:23.875
Do you want me to call somebody?
00:35:25.875 --> 00:35:27.250
I don't understand.
00:35:35.917 --> 00:35:37.708
Where did you enter?
00:35:39.625 --> 00:35:40.667
From the balcony?
00:35:41.208 --> 00:35:42.833
No.
00:36:18.958 --> 00:36:20.875
Can I spend the night here?
00:37:44.375 --> 00:37:46.167
Good morning.
00:37:46.167 --> 00:37:48.625
I have a meeting with the attendant.
00:42:29.833 --> 00:42:31.667
Look for yourself.
00:42:39.917 --> 00:42:40.750
This one, right?
00:42:40.750 --> 00:42:41.458
Yes.
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:44.458
That is the thread.
00:42:44.458 --> 00:42:45.583
Excuse me.
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:07.792
A souvenir.
00:43:12.167 --> 00:43:15.667
The closest thing to the world of a sailor...
00:43:15.667 --> 00:43:18.292
I lived it with the scouts.
00:43:18.292 --> 00:43:20.708
Because I went to the scouts.
00:43:23.458 --> 00:43:25.292
When I was a girl.
00:43:43.792 --> 00:43:45.792
I used to sing a song...
00:43:47.125 --> 00:43:48.875
That sometimes I sing...
00:43:50.042 --> 00:43:52.167
But I don't remember the whole song...
00:43:52.167 --> 00:43:54.625
So I invent some parts.
00:43:54.625 --> 00:43:55.792
You want me to sing it for you?
00:43:55.792 --> 00:43:57.042
Yes.
00:44:00.917 --> 00:44:04.750
I'm going south...
00:44:04.750 --> 00:44:08.667
down the river I go...
00:44:09.375 --> 00:44:13.208
where a better living...
00:44:13.208 --> 00:44:17.042
is waiting for me.
00:44:18.208 --> 00:44:22.000
The solitude...
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:26.500
that there is in my way...
00:44:26.500 --> 00:44:29.958
helps me to hear...
00:44:30.667 --> 00:44:34.792
the sound of the sea.
00:44:35.750 --> 00:44:40.042
Under this sky...
00:44:40.042 --> 00:44:43.875
looking at stars...
00:44:44.708 --> 00:44:47.667
i'm going south...
00:44:48.417 --> 00:44:51.833
i'm going south.
00:44:52.792 --> 00:44:56.625
Cross the hill...
00:44:57.208 --> 00:45:01.333
cross waterfalls...
00:45:01.333 --> 00:45:04.292
I'm going south...
00:45:05.500 --> 00:45:08.458
I'm going south...
00:45:29.125 --> 00:45:31.208
It's pouring!
00:45:40.375 --> 00:45:42.250
I am going to bed.
00:45:43.042 --> 00:45:45.000
You can stay here if you want.
00:48:07.125 --> 00:48:08.333
Madame.
00:48:08.667 --> 00:48:11.958
Excuse me, you cannot stay here.
This is the crew area.
00:48:12.292 --> 00:48:13.667
Where should I go?
00:48:13.667 --> 00:48:15.917
You can go up those stairs.
00:48:17.125 --> 00:48:18.125
Where?
00:48:18.125 --> 00:48:19.750
Those stairs will lead you to the second deck.
00:48:19.750 --> 00:48:21.000
Thank you.
00:53:16.167 --> 00:53:19.000
I can get you a job, if you prefer to stay.
00:53:19.708 --> 00:53:21.125
Ok.
00:53:26.542 --> 00:53:28.208
Try this on.
00:53:43.708 --> 00:53:45.500
Show me, come here.
00:55:43.667 --> 00:55:46.000
You all come, you come.
00:55:47.583 --> 00:55:50.667
Come over here, faster.
00:55:55.125 --> 00:55:57.292
Look at that, look.
00:56:08.917 --> 00:56:10.625
Be careful!
00:56:11.125 --> 00:56:12.125
It's so strange...
00:56:41.417 --> 00:56:42.542
Again!
00:56:57.375 --> 00:56:59.708
There, there... they left.
00:57:00.208 --> 00:57:00.750
Yes.
00:57:03.875 --> 00:57:06.000
And now she's playing with the ball.
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:07.542
Oh.
00:57:10.458 --> 00:57:15.375
There, there is another with flower-like hair.
00:57:21.667 --> 00:57:23.042
It's nice.
00:59:26.667 --> 00:59:28.375
Make sure it's at the same height.
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:31.083
Leave it there.
00:59:31.625 --> 00:59:33.417
At this height it's ok.
00:59:33.417 --> 00:59:34.833
There.
00:59:42.792 --> 00:59:43.750
Take it.
00:59:46.708 --> 00:59:48.417
It's well tied.
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:05.417
With this chicken...
01:00:05.417 --> 01:00:07.167
we call on you all...
01:00:07.458 --> 01:00:09.625
Kiyangan Kabbigat, Bugan,
01:00:09.625 --> 01:00:11.583
Accept this chicken we offer in sacrifice.
01:00:11.583 --> 01:00:13.417
We call on you all and your sons...
01:00:13.417 --> 01:00:15.458
we call on you all.
01:00:15.458 --> 01:00:18.667
Come out and bless us that we may live...
01:00:18.667 --> 01:00:23.708
so we can make more wine
and satisfy you with our offering.
01:00:31.958 --> 01:00:34.375
Bring the other chicken for the spirits.
01:00:34.375 --> 01:00:35.708
This one?
01:00:35.875 --> 01:00:37.750
Any of them.
01:00:38.708 --> 01:00:40.292
That one is too small.
01:00:40.292 --> 01:00:41.875
Give me a big one for the spirits.
01:00:59.292 --> 01:01:01.542
The bile isn't good.
01:01:02.333 --> 01:01:04.500
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
01:01:08.750 --> 01:01:10.417
Give me the other one.
01:01:21.792 --> 01:01:24.167
The bile should be darker.
01:01:24.167 --> 01:01:27.333
Please look at this other one.
01:03:08.333 --> 01:03:10.708
Here you have.
01:03:15.083 --> 01:03:18.208
It doesn't seem good.
Here you can see the bile.
01:03:18.208 --> 01:03:19.667
Take a look.
01:03:20.667 --> 01:03:22.292
It isn't good.
01:03:23.833 --> 01:03:26.125
It's full but still white.
01:03:28.333 --> 01:03:30.875
We did everything and yet...
01:03:30.875 --> 01:03:33.333
We call all the spirits...
01:03:33.333 --> 01:03:35.333
and none responded favorably.
01:03:35.333 --> 01:03:38.833
I cannot even sleep.
01:03:38.833 --> 01:03:40.250
Because...
01:03:41.208 --> 01:03:45.167
what kind of strange shed is this one?
01:03:46.625 --> 01:03:50.042
Even calling the elders...
01:03:50.333 --> 01:03:53.333
and there is no sign.
01:03:53.333 --> 01:03:55.875
We can do it again and again...
01:03:56.417 --> 01:03:59.167
but no spirit accepted our offerings.
01:04:39.375 --> 01:04:43.542
We agreed not to return home
until we could solve this.
01:04:49.292 --> 01:04:52.542
Why should I not go home?
01:04:52.542 --> 01:04:54.958
I have work to do.
01:04:56.125 --> 01:04:57.042
Don’t be like that.
01:04:57.042 --> 01:04:58.708
We aren't leaving without...
01:04:58.708 --> 01:05:01.417
getting adequate protection.
01:05:04.583 --> 01:05:05.833
So...
01:05:05.833 --> 01:05:09.792
we will make this good before we go home.
01:05:10.333 --> 01:05:12.667
Yes, because no matter how many chicken...
01:05:12.667 --> 01:05:15.208
and how many pigs are butchered and sacrificed...
01:05:15.208 --> 01:05:17.417
they weren't enough to summon the spirits.
01:05:17.417 --> 01:05:19.875
And still the gall bladder interpretation isn't good.
01:05:20.958 --> 01:05:22.625
But what if...
01:05:22.625 --> 01:05:24.833
we cannot make the shed...
01:05:25.750 --> 01:05:27.583
stop being a threat?
01:05:27.583 --> 01:05:30.458
We can't return home then?
01:05:45.208 --> 01:05:48.792
Joey heard noises again...
01:05:48.792 --> 01:05:51.000
coming from inside.
01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:52.250
Is that true, Joey?
01:05:52.250 --> 01:05:52.875
Yes.
01:05:52.875 --> 01:05:54.917
The shed is trembling.
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:01.458
It is a danger to continue staying here.
01:06:01.458 --> 01:06:03.542
We have to talk to the elders again.
01:06:06.458 --> 01:06:08.667
it seems that there was an earthquake inside.
01:06:10.792 --> 01:06:13.542
It is just like that.
01:06:13.542 --> 01:06:17.458
I don’t understand why but it is just like that.
01:07:01.458 --> 01:07:03.667
Did you hear?
01:07:03.667 --> 01:07:05.333
It came from there.
01:07:28.500 --> 01:07:31.333
I keep thinking about what that noise was.
01:07:48.708 --> 01:07:50.875
Let us drink.
01:07:51.583 --> 01:07:54.417
See if there is some food so we can eat.
01:08:43.833 --> 01:08:47.292
Is the shed safe?
01:08:54.167 --> 01:08:58.750
The snake is destroying the village.
01:09:05.875 --> 01:09:08.583
It has swallowed my wife...
01:09:08.583 --> 01:09:11.042
and my daughter.
01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:20.958
This one is my daughter's shoe.
01:09:25.125 --> 01:09:28.500
It's the only thing I keep...
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:31.833
from her.
01:09:34.792 --> 01:09:36.708
Let me enter.
01:09:59.208 --> 01:10:02.000
You, our Ifugao spirits
who are gathered here in this forest...
01:10:02.625 --> 01:10:05.458
spirits from Bangaan...
01:10:06.292 --> 01:10:11.250
you go home respectively.
01:10:12.458 --> 01:10:15.167
You also spirits from Hungduan...
01:10:15.750 --> 01:10:18.708
so that we can all go home...
01:10:18.708 --> 01:10:21.625
as brothers safe and sound.
01:11:05.833 --> 01:11:08.208
Somebody is there?
01:13:27.167 --> 01:13:28.958
Where am I?
01:13:44.375 --> 01:13:46.167
Where am I?
01:13:57.750 --> 01:13:59.292
You came from there?
01:14:04.917 --> 01:14:08.333
I don't understand you.
I want to return to my village.
01:14:10.208 --> 01:14:11.958
Where is the door?
01:14:19.417 --> 01:14:21.042
Where am I?
01:15:25.542 --> 01:15:29.833
Let us destroy this shed
which only brought misfortune...
01:15:29.833 --> 01:15:33.292
and cause trouble amongst the villagers.
01:15:33.292 --> 01:15:36.500
That its destruction
may dissolve the curse it brought with it.
01:15:37.208 --> 01:15:40.042
And that we will all...
01:15:40.750 --> 01:15:43.667
live safe in this land.
01:15:45.500 --> 01:15:48.083
Yes, tell us when it's time.
01:16:16.250 --> 01:16:17.458
Go away!
01:19:06.458 --> 01:19:14.958
