Following the sudden death of her beloved cousin, young Filipino-Kiwi Aya returns to her hometown expecting to find only grief and memories. Instead, she comes face-to-face with her cousin's ghost, who confronts her with an impossible question: ""If my life were yours and yours were mine, would our fates have been different?""

Caught between the living and the dead, Aya navigates the contrasting worlds of diaspora and home, wrestling with the haunting realities that shape Filipino women's lives across oceans.

In this risk-taking intimate drama, playwright and director Alyssa Medel weaves a deeply personal story that honours both the resilience of Filipino women and the seaside community of Ilang – her home village in Davao City.
