Synopsis by Olivia Cantor

Written and directed by Martika Ramirez Escobar, this Filipino drama-comedy follows the life of Leonor (Sheila Francisco), a former movie scriptwriter once famous for creating over-the-top action sequences, melodramatic romance plots, and humorous movie storylines. In her old age, she is struggling to do basic errands like paying utilities. Her frustrated son laments that her head is stuck in the golden days of cinema. One day, a television set accidentally hits Leonor in the head, transporting her inside the stories she once wrote. The film co-stars Rocky Salumbides and Bong Cabrera.
