Utama: Every Name in History is I

A young girl from the countryside dreams of disappearing. She plays a lonely game of hide-and-seek while her mother quotes the Bible and her father relishes in alcohol. She decides to put on a stage play based on an old Philippine film about a family who disappears in the mountain during the war.
