Punay was born with wounds on her feet so she has never been able to walk. Her brother, Angkarang, carrying her in a hammock, is always on his way, searching for a healer who can cure Punay. In a kind of a peculiar road movie story, there are different people they meet along the way – a woman looking for her husband, a fisherman who has lost his boat and a young man who is searching for himself. The first Palawan indigenous film in the world is full of symbolically mystic transformances. Busong is the indigenous Palawan concept of fate or instant karma, when nature reacts instantly to a man's disrespect towards nature or other men. Cast: Alessandra de Rossi, Dax Alejandro, Clifford Banagale Directed by: Auraeus Solito
