A spokesperson says---
"...Angela arrives to congratulate her twin sister on her new baby, but instead finds Eve "coexisting" with a Filipino demon infamous for their hunger of all things fetus. Does Angela believe Eve's claims that all is well with her new relationship?...incorporates Filipino mythology and tradition to explore our pre-colonial relationship with sister-hood, loss, and mothering...
...As twins, Angela and Eve's paths diverge in how they handle the loss of their nanay, where they seek a sense of home, and how they contextualize the memories from their formative years. Two sisters grown distant, are struggling to reconnect. Much like the Manananggal, the mythical aswang who severs their body in half, burying their legs so their torso can fly...asks what we leave behind in order to move forward, and what it takes to feel complete...
...Equal parts quippy sit-com and cryptic dreamscape..."
