A Filipino psychological horror drama.
A class of college students are given an assignment to learn about the 1972-1981 martial law in the Philippines, by talking to people who lived through it.
Carlo (Tony Labrusca) Goes to the home of a senior citizen and retired colonel (played by Eddie Garcia) who was an officer during the martial law period.
Carlo's visit to the retired colonel's home triggered an insane reaction from the latter, who is apparently troubled by his experiences during the martial law when he tortured captured activists.
