    • After a hurricane ravaged his hometown, the grieving Cheo and his mother Isabel - are both restless about the whereabouts of the displaced remains of his brother.

      Being on the verge of the next hurricane and afraid they’ll never find his brother’s remains, Cheo hires an outlaw, Juanko. Together they break and enter into the local cemetery.

      Despite not seeing eye to eye, Cheo and Juanko manage to find his brother’s casket, but things take a turn for the worse when patrolling cops arrive. While Juanko’s arrested, Cheo manages to escape with the casket by the skin of his teeth.

      When he returns home, Cheo is shocked to discover he retrieved the wrong casket. Despite the initial urge to return it, he chooses to lie to Isabel.

      As they both ceremoniously bury the casket, a guilt-ridden Cheo seeks refuge in her embrace.
