In Malabing Valley, Nueva Vizcaya, the filmmaker records her family performing an Ifugao ritual for a deceased relative which involves exhuming and cleaning the remains. However, this practice is seen as taboo by an outsider up to this day. Using autoethnography and participatory mode of documentary, the filmmaker relearns the importance of their culture and digs into how their community preserves their practice and adapts with the 21st century progression.
