Where two worlds meet
A calling carried on mountain wind.
Years after a babaylan initiation is shattered by a jealous spirit, disturbances spread across the villages of Antique. Bulan must follow the trail from green fields to the summit of Mt. Madja-as.
Here, culture is more than scenery. Healing, ritual, community, and the natural world become the systems that move the journey forward.
