| Michelle has a strange love story with her house by the bamboo grove, with which she developed a language, with things functioning as words only she could understand. |
Synopsis:
Michelle lives in her own special world. She has a strange love story with her house by the bamboo grave, with which she developed a language, with things functioning as words only she could understand. Everyone is trying to convince her to abandon the house; her boyfriend trying to look for work in the city or abroad, a nosy neighbor trying to make ends meet by working as a teacher, and even a filmmaker trying to do a documentary on Michelle’s skill as a calado embroiderer, which she cling onto as strongly as she stays in the house.
The film tells the intimate story of how Michelle’s house, along with the things around her: a river stone, a June beetle, and a can of sardines, would help her preserve the ecology of joy and peace she nurtures by the bamboo grove. In Michelle’s world everything is interconnected, and even the smallest of things has a story to tell.
Starring: Mercedes Cabral, RK Bagatsing, Mark Felix
Written and Directed By: Alvin Yapan
Alvin Yapan’s “An Kubo sa Kawayanan” reaped four awards during the World Premieres Film Festival Awards Night held at SM MOA last 28 June 2015 - Best Picture, Best Editing (Benjamin Tolentino), Best Cinematography (Ronald Rebutica) and Best Actress (Mercedes Cabral).
Before the Awards Night, I had rated this 5 Stars out of 5. Enjoyable to watch, because of its simplicity and unique way of depicting nature and the culture of its people. Truly deserving of its awards.
