Discussions over Tim Horton’s coffee between D - the future film maker, E the reluctant movie watcher and Me.
The airplane.
A departing plane shows up in more than 2 scenes. Wasn’t that us, one of Adela’s children, the OFWs, the migrants who choose to leave?
Adela’s children and extended family
Did they represent the majority of us Filipinos? Those who are working abroad, those who are on the wrong path of life (just how crowded are our jails now?), and those who do honest labor to the point of being slaves to work (daughter cannot even ask for a day off to join Adela on her birthday). Did Diego (the village thief) represent those who continue to rob our country of its resources?
The lost ring.
I was kind of expecting it to be found, but it never was. Did it symbolize the lost family tie?
