Beyond Mourning

On what seems to be an ordinary day, a woman comes home with baggage on hand. Inside contains several ingredients, which she, later on, used to cook food that is known to many. But while in the process, something had happened. An ordinary day was suddenly not ordinary at all. The baggage she brought home has been with her all along.

Directed by Sophie Casasola, Francisco Tavas, Le Anne FLores, Beyond Mourning leans on a strong ensemble — Joyce Macalia — 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 family titles of 2021.
