Multiple characters from the past, present and future struggle to find the balance between trauma and nostalgia, hope and dread. Prepare to be transported to the Second World War, a doll case, a high school in the late 2000s, a haunted ancestral houses, Duterte-era Manila, the aftermath of Earth's destruction, and a utopian society; and rediscover both the pain and beauty of memory.
