Ang Meron Sa Wala / Beyond Nothing
Directed by: Arby and Christine Laraño
An old man is being interviewed and asked about his journey in life—from childhood to fatherhood.
From its film title alone (Beyond Nothing), you would already have an inkling on what the story is about. Indeed, they have touched the poverty topic albeit only at a glance.
They went beyond the surface.
As the interview progresses, this film gradually takes you inside the mind and heart of this old man—until such time that he resonates a familiar figure in our lives.
With no actors and dialogues, they were able to maintain a two-way communication. The emotions are authentic, you can’t help but empathize with them. The story flows in its natural state, allowing us to dive in and take a plunge.
This film may be filled with words due to its interview format, but beyond the words lie the truest story of hope and inspiration we all deserve to experience.
This is no ordinary man and this is no ordinary story. We are fortunate to witness a leap of faith.
We live for this kind of positivity.
