    • Synopsis
    • After surviving World War II, the Death March and several attempts on his life, Justino had become an atheist. But after his wife Corazon’s demise, a part of him now yearns to believe in life beyond death just to be united with her again. Searching for memories of her he can still hold on to, Justino goes through her things. Mercy, their adopted daughter, finds a box-full of Corazon’s diaries, which he devours for information into their past.

      A brilliant Judge during the Martial Law era, Justino’s quest for justice was firm even after he was ambushed by hired assassins, turning him into a paraplegic for life. But once they abducted Corazon, he finally surrenders his gavel in exchange for her safety.

      Like Justino, Grace, his private nurse, had deep wounds from Martial Law. Her mother, an activist, disappeared in 1973 and was never found. Her father, Severino, became a rebel in retaliation for the injustice. Like many others, he was eventually captured, tortured and imprisoned for more than ten years.

      When Justino meets Severino, he is shocked by the information the former political prisoner shares with him -- Corazon was incarcerated in the same holding facility he was held in. As Severino recounts her ordeal and the abuse she suffered, Justino again dies inside. Plagued with regret and guilt for what happened to her, Justino resolves to join his wife for good… but his story does not end there.
