Pailalim

Portrait of a marginalised group of people living illegally in a cemetery in the Philippines, through the life of a couple with a sick child.

Bangis, a gravedigger living inside a cemetery mausoleum, is pushed to the limit when his daughter becomes critically ill. With no other means to bring her to a hospital for proper medication, he’s left with one option: to steal a newly buried corpse for money, and hope everything is not too late for his beloved daughter.
