SYNOPSIS:  Seferina Umayam, affectionately known as "Ina Bulan," fulfills her role as a devoted prayer leader, carrying on the rich Ilokano tradition of praying and honoring the dead with prayers and chants. Alongside her companions, she passionately keeps the sacred practice alive, drawing comfort from her spiritual connection and a sense of fulfillment in guiding her community.  As fate would have it, a unique opportunity arises in their community – an indie filmmaker is searching for an actor. The prospect of finally pursuing her lifelong dream both excites and terrifies Ina Bulan. The only problem is, she's no longer young enough, and the audition for the role coincides with the first month anniversary of Ama Arte's passing. Caught between the allure of the audition, which represents a chance for self-discovery and fulfillment, and her unwavering commitment to lead the prayers for Ama Arte's soul, Ina Bulan faces a dilemma. The decision weighs heavily on her shoulders as the question lingers: Will Ina Bulan have the courage to attend the audition and face the uncertainty of what comes next, or will she choose to fulfill her solemn duty and lead the prayer, embracing the comfort of familiarity and tradition?  In the midst of her struggle, Ina Bulan navigates a path of self-discovery, uncovering her past.  •	Official Selection, Sinag Maynila Independent Film Festival, 2024  •	Official Selection, Cinema Rehiyon 17, Butuan, 2025   BACK TO MAIN PAGE: https://vimeo.com/showcase/cinemarehiyon2025
