Audience Member Having worked in the Philippines, lived in the Philippines, and known OFWs (Overseas Foreign Workers) myself, this film is achingly realistic in its portrayal of an OFW's different struggles. My wife, who is a Filipina, has friends and relatives who have been employed as OFWs for years, and it seems they always take care of others back home over themselves, because that's what their families expect, that they're entitled to her earnings, and it's only logical that they should work like a serf to support them. These women work very hard 5, 10, even 30 years in another country far away from everyone and everything they know, and many times have nothing to show for it when they get home. It's a common story. And this film tells that story well, with great acting, spare directing, and a great script.
