Adela

Adela, a former radio personality, celebrates her 80th birthday in the slums of Manila, surrounded by poverty and chaos. Despite her efforts to make the day feel like any other, she can't help but feel a deep sense of loneliness and longing for the stability and family she once had. As she goes about her daily routine, mundane events take on heightened meaning as Adela reflects on her life and the choices she's made. Through her interactions with her neighbors and the community, Adela's story becomes a poignant and powerful exploration of isolation, hope, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
