Description

"A young girl gains meaning in a chaotic world"

Right before the internet took over the world,
During the onset of mass migration of Filipino workers abroad,
There was a sheltered young girl named Zarla
—a daughter of a nurse and a stay-at-home dad.
Separated from her mother, she might as well been an orphan from the neglect of her
free-spirited father.

One thing she wanted most as a little girl—to have her family together.
So, she made a pact with the Supreme High Being.

From then on, a cranky way of life set in motion.
Thrust into the mean world of school in a ghetto neighbourhood without any guidance or instructions,
She must face the difficulties of raising herself and confront imbalances of
growing up without a mother.

A sudden change of luck turns her miserable existence downside up
when her family migrates to Dublin, Ireland.
And with high expectation came realisations.
At the end of her wits comes a breakthrough.

Four corners of the world, Southeast and Northwest, amalgamate
within Zarla’s consciousness.

A new paradigm shift emerged.
