Isabel, a golf club’s newly appointed ‘tee-girl’, feels strangely drawn to Dr. Palanca, the president of the country club where she works. But as she starts to piece together a more violent picture of what lies behind the country club’s pristine facade, she comes to realize that what began as an innocent infatuation with Dr. Palanca is rooted in a more sinister, shared history. Feature version of Rafael Manuel's Berlinale 2020 Silver Bear-winning short film FILIPIÑANA.
