Where's father?

He's over there, I think. Gathering sweet potatoes.

Where?

Over there.

Father!

I thought we were going to the forest...

to get the lizards from the traps we set up?

Later. After I eat breakfast.

Where is Ikang?

Over there. She's talking to Father.

Let me drink.

Wait a second! I have yet to boil this!

Hey! Stop it!

Here...

Hey! Why you...

Stop it! Ouch.

Talya the tease! Talya...

Here you go!

Talya the tease!

Talya the tease!

Let us all sing and dance, let's celebrate our triumphs.

Praise be to the Blessed Virgin!

Let us all sing and dance.

Praise be to the Blessed Virgin!

Cho Igna!

- Cho Igna! Cho Igna! Cho Igna! - Oh my daughters.

Such pretty young ladies!

Cho Igna! Did you bring a present for me?

- Oh my! - Cho Igna!

- Where's Father? - Over there. Go get him.

- I brought a lot of presents for all of you. - Father! Father! Come here!

Hurry! Cho Igna is here!

Here. Of course.

- I'm sick of bananas, you know. - Yes.

- Don't fight, there's plenty outside. - Really?

Cho Igna! Cho Igna! You blow into this thing and then it grows big, right?

- Is this it? - Yes. It's a balloon.

Cho Igna, how about my bubblegum?

- That's a balloon. - Give me that.

- Don't grab those. - Give me that!

Give her that. There's plenty outside. No need to fight over it.

- What is this? - Those are rice puffs.

- Rice puffs? - Try it.

Give me some!

We have to show our respect first. Show respect for Cho Igna. Hey!

- Cho Igna. - Cho Igna.

Oh, this kid.

Cho Igna.

- Oh, these girls! - There's more.

- I come here and I see such pretty girls! - No. Give me some and I'll give you some.

Oh! Come here, come here.

- Oh! Let me kiss you. Let me kiss you. - You want some, Cho Igna?

- Wow! Oh my! - Give me some!

Why are you wet? Did you just take a bath?

You want some?

- No. Give me some, please. - You're all wet...

Wait. Wait. Let's go get Cho Igna's other presents.

Hey! Talya, that's enough. Hey!

Come on. Hurry up.

Hey, girls, don't attempt to carry the heavy stuff.

- I'll take care of those. - Yes.

Ikang, Ikang.

This is for you, because you're already a young woman.

Wow, Cho Igna brought us so many presents.

A dress!

This will look good on me! Wow!

Hey, that's mine!

- No! Wait a second! - I think this is the present he told me about!

There's more stuff!

You carry those. I'm carrying a lot already.

- Yes. - Hurry!

Cho Igna!

- Cho Igna! - Did you see my present?

Your present for me?

I already have my present.

I knew that was mine.

Thank you!

Thanks again.

You girls go inside.

Friend!

Hey there, my friend!

Come here!

Come here for a minute! Do that later! Let's discuss our business!

Hey, I got you a present too!

What do you mean it's small? It will fit me.

These are so nice.

Yes.

- So nice, right? - Ikang! Ikang, look!

Cho Igna brought us many clothes!

That's right.

Ikang!

Ikang! Come here! Hurry!

It's so pretty, right?

This will look good on me!

- I'll take this. - What?! That's mine!

This is what Cho Igna gave me.

It's so nice!

And on your hand too!

Ikang, you can have all these. Just give that to me.

- Even just a single piece. - So nice.

Please?

Friend, I never imagined, these girls grew up so fast.

And they're pretty too.

But they're all like daughters to me.

I remember when they were little...

they like to play outside when it's raining.

They were even buck naked.

Aning, I was the one who taught you how to swim, remember?

Oh, that wasn't her. That was me, Cho Igna.

Was that you?

And me too. You also taught me how to swim, right?

Yeah, yeah I did.

By the way, Cho Igna, next time you come to visit...

please bring me a present, just like the one you gave Ikang.

That one and the other too.

Yes. But don't be jealous of your sister Ikang.

She's already a young woman.

As for you, you're still a girl.

Friend, if you're going to the forest...

it's best that I go with you so I wouldn't get bored here waiting for you.

Friend, how old is your daughter Ikang?

Well, she's turning seventeen on December.

Don't think I'm imposing my ideas on you, friend.

This is the first time I will be speaking on matters involving your daughters.

I regard them like my own, anyway.

I just think that it isn't right to deprive these young women...

of experiencing life in a town setting.

What do you say about that, friend?

You know, friend...

I don't want my daughters to experience...

the cruelty I suffered in the hands of the townspeople.

You know what happened to me.

I braved the town to make friends with them...

but what did they do?

I ended up with wounds on my hands and feet.

The people in this world are confused.

They don't know where they're going.

Their hearts are full of hatred and greed.

They have lost all sense of virtue.

So why do we have to leave and head out to town?

So we can find work?

And why do we need to work?

We because we need to have food on our table, right?

In that case, we already have what we need here in our little paradise.

The happiness we feel here as a family is enough for us.

Friend, why?!

Why, friend?!

Father!

Ikang, you...

...are the eldest of the three. You.

Thus.

You are now expected to make decisions on behalf of your sisters.

But of course, you can ask me for advice...

since I'm concerned about your welfare.

First and foremost...

First and foremost...

I was...

I was the last person your father spoke with...

before he passed away.

And what he said took me by surprise.

I suppose you'll be just as surprised when I tell you all about it.

Your father said he wants me...

to take you girls to the town proper...

so that he can be assured...

that you and your sisters will be in good hands.

He also asked me, as a dying wish...

to tell you...

that he wants you...

to take me as your husband.

You know... you know what's so funny?

What's funny is...

Listen to me carefully.

Why do you think I come up here to this mountain every month?

Certainly not to buy the lizards your father caught.

I just pretended to need those monitor lizards...

for business downtown.

No.

No.

No.

I wanted to see you often, Ikang.

And if it's possible, I would live here...

or take you to town to live with me.

It's true.

It's true, Ikang.

Back in the day I would see you bathing naked in the rain.

I've loved you since then.

It was like raising a little girl to be my wife.

I've made love with you in my mind. I was fucking a fantasy.

That's why...

I'm still a bachelor at my age.

Let go of me, Cho Igna!

Talya! Aning!

- Help me! - Please love me!

Talya! Aning!

- Ikang! It's Ikang! - What is it?

Ikang is crying out for help!

Let go of me! Cho Igna!

- Talya! Aning! - Please love me!

Hurry up!

Let go of me!

Love me, Ikang! Please love me!

Isn't this where...

isn't this where I left...

my horse and carriage?

I knew it...

I should have gone here...

during the rainy season.

More...

more animals die in the forest.

There are more...

for monitor lizards to eat.

It's easier to catch those lizards...

I was planning on letting you three...

take over my business...

instead of leaving my nephew Isaac in charge of it!

That stuttering kid!

And his tongue is just as blunt...

just as useless...

as his brain.

Ikang...

Marry me, Ikang.

Marry me, Ikang.

Ikang...

Marry me, Ikang.

Ikang...

Ikang... Ikang, marry me.

Aning!

Cho Igna!

Cho Igna, I won't have any use for this here.

- Ikang... - What?

What was that you gave Cho Igna?

- I returned the necklace and ring. - What?

Ikang, why did you return those to Cho Igna?

If you didn't want those, you should've just given it to me.

You know how much I want to have my own jewelry.

Ikang!

Talya!

Talya!

Talya!

What is it?

Talya!

Talya! Come back here!

Come back here!

Talya!

Cho Igna!

Cho Igna!

Cho Igna!

Cho Igna!

Cho Igna!

Cho Igna!

- Talya, what is it? - Cho Igna!

The jewelry...

you gave Ikang...

the ones she returned...

Can I just have it?

Come. Let's talk here under the shade. Come.

Come. Let's go over there.

There's a nice shade here.

You can sit there.

The heat is too much.

These are so beautiful, Cho Igna.

Try it on.

- So pretty! - Try on the ring.

- This? - There.

How lovely!

The earrings. Come on, try it on. Try it on.

Let's see if it'll look good on you.

These are so beautiful, Cho Igna.

Are these mine now?

Everything suits you.

- Really? - The bracelet. Wear the bracelet.

There. There.

There.

- Cho Igna, I don't know how to put it on. - Give it to me. Let me put it on you.

These are nice!

You're a young lady now.

Here, just put it in here.

There.

There. There. There you go!

So nice!

How about this one, Cho Igna? How do I put this on?

Wait a second. Let's put it on you.

Turn around. Turn around.

Wait. It should go here, under. There.

It's pretty.

It's all yours. It's yours now.

Look, Cho Igna. It looks good on me.

Cho Igna...

thank you very much.

I will never forget you.

Talya...

Cho Igna...

Talya...

- Cho Igna... - Talya, don't be afraid.

- I won't hurt you. - Cho Igna!

- Talya... - Ouch!

- Talya... - Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Talya!

Come here!

Talya! Don't be scared.

Let me go... Cho Igna!

Let me go... Cho Igna! Cho Igna!

Aren't you going to stop?

Cho Igna!

Cho Igna!

Let go of me!

Aren't you going to stop?

Come here, kid.

Cho Igna!

Where are you going? Come here.

Where are you going? Come here.

Ikang! Ikang! Help me!

Ikang!

Ikang!

Talya?

What happened? Why do you look so dirty?

Answer me! What happened to you?

I got lost in the woods.

Were you able to catch up with him?

Father is gone.

I am the head of the family now...

so you must do everything that I say.

- Ikang... - Hmm?

- Ikang... - Hmm?

What do we do now?

Father is dead.

As for Cho Igna, I'm sure he's never coming back.

What are we going to do now?

We're going to work.

We're not going to get hungry here anyway.

Talya, for heaven's sake, stop crying!

Father is already buried.

What did you say?

Do you think it's true that father said that?

That he wants you to marry Cho Igna?

Why do you ask?

If it's true that he said that, why don't we head to town...

and look for Cho Igna?

It was Father's instructions anyway, right?

Okay, we will go to town tomorrow...

but on the condition that you marry Cho Igna.

Will you do it?

Oh, sure! I will!

Getting married is just having a wedding ceremony in a church, right?

Very well. Tomorrow, you will go to town and look for Cho Igna.

Marry him and get yourself pregnant!

I hope that all your children will look like monitor lizards!

Talya, go to sleep!

Ikang!

Ikang!

Ikang, there's a man! There's a man here, Ikang!

Ikang!

There's a man!

Ikang! The man was peeping!

- Wait... - You pig!

Just wait! Wait! Ouch.

What are you doing here?

Ouch! Hey!

- Bastard! - Wait! Ouch! Ouch!

You bastard!

Animal! You animal!

Enough! I said enough!

Why are you doing this to me?

What have I done to you? What have I done?

You were peeping.

I wasn't peeping.

I saw a snake. It went under your hut.

I went there so I could kill it.

You said you weren't peeping, but I saw you.

I was getting dressed. I saw you under the hut.

Ikang?

Aning?

Who are you? How come you know us?

I'm the nephew of Cho Igna.

The one from San Simon.

- Bastard! - Ouch!

Talya!

' Talya! ' Sh» it!

- You bastard! - Hey!

- Pig! - Wait! What have I done now?

- Talya! - What have I done this time?

- Pig! - What have I done?

What is it? What is it?!

Cho Igna raped me!

Cho Igna raped me!

- Talya, what did you say?! Hey! - Cho Igna raped me!

- What?! - Cho Igna raped me!

- What do you want? - Igna is dead.

Igna is dead.

What?!

I killed him.

Why?

He treated me like a slave...

ever since my father died.

You want to see my back?

Here, take a look. You'll see scars all over my back.

He whipped me like a horse.

That son of a bitch! That old son of a bitch!

I even washed his ass every time he defecated.

Would you believe that, at my age, I'm still not circumcised?

I choked him to death.

He's dead.

I smashed his face with a big rock.

And then I cut off his right hand...

because that was the hand that always held a whip.

And then I disemboweled him.

Lastly, I cut off his member.

If you don't talk to him, I'll talk to him myself.

How rude! He didn't even ask for our permission before bathing.

And he's naked. He's not even wearing underwear.

A scoundrel!

So what if he's killed a man?! We can do that too.

Ikang! Ikang, look!

Ikang! He's turning around!

Ikang... Ikang, what do we do now?

Alright, I'll talk to him.

But wait, what do I say?

Ask him why he's taking a bath here when he didn't even ask for our permission.

And why does he have to be naked?

Alright.

You know what...

my sisters and I are allowing you to take a bath here.

But...

we can't allow you to just stand there without...

a single piece of clothing!

What's wrong with being naked?

Igna told me that back in the day...

you mountain girls bathe without any underwear.

So what? We were all girls.

There's nothing wrong with that!

Look, Ikang.

Look.

Look.

So our hut is just near yours, as it turns out.

Well, yes.

In fact, I always pass by your hut. I just don't show myself.

I'm guessing that the distance between your hut and mine is...

seven hundred seventy seven steps.

Where are your sisters?

They're at home.

I wasn't planning on coming here...

but then I realized that I shouldn't be mad at you but at Cho Igna alone.

Did you really kill Cho Igna?

Yes.

At first I had regrets about what I did.

But when I found out that he took advantage of you...

I just grew angrier at him.

Bye. I have to go now.

My sisters might be looking for me.

Wait a minute. You should eat something.

I have plenty of bananas.

I'll come back here soon.

Is it okay if I come back here?

Yes.

If you want, I can even teach you how to ride a horse.

- Really? - Look at my horse.

Have you ever ridden a horse?

Not yet.

Do you have a wife?

No, I don't have one...

because Igna doesn't want me to find a wife.

But have you...

have you slept with a woman?

Never.

I have to go.

Talya!

Talya?

Talya?

Talya?

That's Ikang.

Is my sister here?

No, Ikang.

Come in.

Talya?

Talya?

Talya?

Ikang, please check if this is cooked.

Not yet.

Aning...

if you start fooling around like Talya...

I wouldn't want to have anything to do with you anymore.

I no longer care what she does.

Ikang, you should've asked Talya...

before harboring anger towards her. Ask her where she was the whole time.

We don't really know why she came home late.

I know that we both have the same idea where she was...

so you'd better just shut your mouth.

Why, Ikang? What did you think Talya was up to?

Just keep an eye on Talya.

And if you see her talking to that man, you have to tell me at once.

But, Ikang...

Just do as I say!

You were at Isaac's hut, weren't you?

Yes.

What did you do there?

Nothing.

You did something.

No.

- Yes there was... - I said nothing!

Isaac and I didn't do anything.

It was nothing!

Wait... Hey! Ouch!

Maybe Isaac...

Aning, Stop it!

Aren't you two going to stop?

Is the rice already cooked?

Aning, is the rice cooked?!

Almost.

Where is Talya?

I haven't seen Talya for hours.

Aning, where is Talya?!

I'll just check on the rice. It might get overcooked.

Talya...

do your sisters ever talk about me?

Huh? No.

Actually, they've stopped talking to each other since your arrival.

Who's prettier, me or Talya?

I'm prettier than her, right?

Who do you like better? Me or Talya?

Ouch!

Don't... It hurts...

I'm glad you came. Thank you.

Come in. I cooked chicken.

Please come in. Come.

By the way, you should know that...

I wait every night.

I keep hoping that you would come.

That's why I prepare dinner every night.

Come.

Come. Come.

Come in.

Please sit. Sit down.

You know...

I was going to catch some fish for you.

In case you decide to stop by for a visit.

But I remembered that I still have wild chickens here.

Some of them contracted a disease...

so I just decided to cook them.

Looks like this is already cooked.

- Wait! Where are you go- - Hey!

- Wait. Wait a second. - Let go of me! Isaac, no!

Wait, Ikang. Wait a second.

- Isaac, no! Let me go! Let me go! - Wait a second.

Let go of me! Isaac, no!

No! No, Isaac! No!

Let me go!

Let me go!

No! No, Isaac! No!

No!

Talya, drain those.

The bananas. It might get overcooked.

Aning, hey! Aren't you done yet?

Ikang!

Ikang!

Ikang! Ikang, wait a second!

Wait a second!

You're a slut!

You're a slut!

Ouch!

- Ikang! - Come here!

Stop it!

- You're a slut! Come here! - Ikang!

- Stop it! - Go ahead and hurt me!

- Stop it! - All you do is hurt us, your own sisters!

- Enough! - You should be ashamed of yourself!

- You think Talya and I know nothing? - Shut up!

You two slept together last night!

Respect Father's memory!

You're the one who should have a little self-respect!

Since we were children, you've always been self-centered!

You got a lot of nerve! You man-stealer!

You're shameless!

Shut up! I said shut up!

- Shut up! - Go ahead!

- Go ahead! - Ikang!

- Ikang! Stop it! - You're shameless!

From now on, you have no business meddling in my affairs!

If you want to go home, just go!

I'm not coming with you! I'm going to stay here with Isaac.

Ikang...

I don't think it's necessary for Aning to leave.

Aren't you going to stop her?

Hurry up with that so we can finish early.

We can finish this tomorrow.

It's more important that we all talk tonight.

What is there to talk about?

This is cooked.

So this is the way you roast, Isaac.

It's still quite raw but it's delicious.

Ikang...

Ikang, I know that you don't want to talk to me,

but will you please listen to me?

It's not my fault that Aning moved in my hut.

You know that it's you I love.

You're the one I love.

And you know, Aning will not be staying there long.

So when she leaves...

will you please live with me and be my wife?

Please, Ikang?

We will leave and go to town.

Isaac! Isaac! Eat this corn that I cooked.

This is sweet. Come on.

This is for you. Go ahead.

Eat it. Ouch.

Please, eat some.

No.

Of course it's sweet because it's a young corn!

I had a hard time planting those...

and you just harvested those out of season.

Isaac, you son of a bitch! You're worse than a wild boar, you pig!

I gave you everything! I gave you my life, my body... everything!

What right do you have to do this to me?

You're not the one I love.

Whose idea was it anyway that you live here?

And did I ever ask you to serve me? I never did.

Don't you realize that I don't love you at all? It's Ikang I love.

You know that? I love Ikang.

Talya!

Talya!

Tell your sister that Isaac is waiting for her in his hut!

And you better be prepared because it's going to be just us now!

Just the two of us, you understand? But so what?

That's even better...

because no one will meddle in our affairs now.

Listen to me, Talya!

You can only follow one sister!

So it's either Ikang or me!

You choose!

Talya...

whatever Aning decides to do...

and if you want to go with her...

go ahead.

I will not get in your way.

If you girls want to go to town...

Aning knows the person she must find...

Father Mojica, a friend of our father's.

You know, Ikang...

I'm a good man.

I'm not a bad person.

I guess...

we should just hide out here for a couple of months.

After that, we can go to town...

and find a place where we can stay for good.

You know, Ikang...

you will not have any regrets.

I will be your husband and I will take care of you.

Aning, we cannot possibly pull that rope.

What are we going to ensnare anyway?

That is such a big snare for a wild boar.

Father used to tell me a story back then.

He said that the day will come...

when a huge boar will be roaming this very forest.

I want to capture that boar.

Ikang, why won't you let me in my own home?

I just don't want to see your face. Go away!

I don't want to see your face.

What have I done to you?

I didn't do anything wrong.

Maybe you don't really love me.

Who told you that I don't love you?

I've been asking you for hog plum for days now.

Until now, you haven't brought me any.

But where will I find hog plums?

You can see that the trees only have leaves.

Hog plums are not in season right now.

So what?

Are you pregnant, Ikang?

Are you pregnant, Ikang?

- Ikang, are you pregnant? - Just go away!

Ikang, I'm going to be a father?

Ikang?

I'm going to be a father!

Isaac is a father now!

Listen, birds!

Listen, lizards!

Isaac is going to be a father!

Ikang, am I really going to be a father? Really?

Listen, wind! Listen, trees! I'm a father now!

Ikang!

Will you please stop whining?

We're done with the snare anyway.

I don't understand, Aning.

What are you hoping to ensnare in that big trap?

It was so difficult putting it up.

Look at my hands. They're sore from clutching all those ropes.

There's nothing you can do about your sore hands now.

What can you do? So just quit whining.

I don't think you have a wild boar in mind.

What else is there to capture other than a wild boar?

Ikang!

Come in.

Have a seat, Ikang.

How are you?

How are you two doing?

Well, when you left, we were sad of course.

And it's been a while since you last came here.

Isaac and I will be going to town.

When?

Maybe tomorrow.

Talya, the thing is...

I'm pregnant.

Isaac told me that...

it's not safe for me to give birth up here on this mountain.

I came here to tell you that

we are going to part ways now.

I don't know...

where we're staying in town.

I wish I knew so I could tell you both where to find me.

You know that Isaac is hiding from the authorities...

so we don't really know where we'll end up.

The ginger brew will be ready in a few minutes.

Is your tummy still aching?

Not as bad as earlier.

Isaac...

is it painful to give birth?

I don't know.

But all I know is that you just have to keep pushing.

Aning!

Isn't that Isaac's horse?

Where are you going?

Where are you taking the horse?

Come with me.

Where are we going?

What are you going to do with the horse?

Are the sweet potatoes already cooked?

Almost.

You should have boiled more.

You might get hungry on the road. It's a long way going to town.

Ikang, where is the horse?

Huh?

Where is the horse?

Wait here, Ikang. I'll just look for the horse. It might run off.

Wait for me here. Just stay here.

Aning...

if we're headed to town, why don't we just go with Ikang?

And, Aning...

we went through a lot of trouble setting up the trap for the wild boar.

Now we're just leaving it there.

Hey, Aning, do you even know the names of the people we need to find in town?

Well...

in case we don't find them...

we can just look for the people Cho Igna were telling us about.

Get up and stop blabbering.

Just don't forget what I told you-

you will listen to me and do as I say when we get to the town.

Talya...

don't you fear Father?

Don't lie to me!

Where is Isaac's horse?

Aning, where did you bring Isaac's horse?

The big snare I heard that you two made...

what is it for?

Talya, tell me what is it for?

Who is it for?!

Talya...

the only reason I agreed to leave and head to town...

is because you vowed never to talk to Ikang again.

The end of this trail, Talya, leads to the cemetery.

From there you will see a view of the town.

You made that snare for Isaac's horse, Aning!

I'm begging you... tell me where the horse is!

The trap was made for Isaac, Ikang.

He's the boar that will roam these woods, as Father prophesied.

Tell me where it is!

- Tell me where it is, Aning! - Find it yourself!

- Tell me where it is! - It's gone!

- Where is the snare?! - I don't know!

Come here! Weren't you the one who... Come with me! Come here!

Aning, where is it?!

- Find it yourself! - Isaac!

Where is the snare?!

Aning, tell me where the trap is!

The trap!

- I'm begging you, tell me where it is! - Stop it!

Isaac!

- Find the snare! - No!

- Find it yourself! - Come here!

- Come here! Find it! - No! No!

- Find it! - Let go...
