Bacao is about the torment of a young wife, Mayet, struggling to become pregnant. As their village is in the midst of a corn bountiful harvest, their sensual partnership also flourishes, though it is paradoxically fruitless. Mayet’s anxiety and paranoia grows as pregnancy evades her. To what extent will Mayet go to fulfill her desire of having a child?
Directed by Edgardo Vinarao, Bacao leans on a strong ensemble — Michelle Madrigal, Arnold Reyes, Alvin Anson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2014.
