In the 1940s, Culion was a settlement for people afflicted with Hansen’s Disease, commonly known as leprosy, where a cure remained elusive and leaving was prohibited. The film follows the lives of three women – Anna, Doris, and Ditas – as they navigate their experiences within this isolated community and confront the challenges of living with a disease considered a life sentence. Their stories explore themes of resilience, hope, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
