Elehiya: Movie Review

Arriving at a port, Dr. Celine de Miranda (Cherie Gil) comes out holding a big box on top of all the luggage she already has. Inside is an urn holding the ashes of her late husband, Paeng. Before his death, his final wish was to scatter his ashes on the island that he loved and lived on. Even though their relationship isn’t really great, since Celine decided to go abroad, she still honored his request.

Now on the island, Dr. Celine gets welcomed by their villa caretaker Basyon (Erlinda Villalobos), her daughter Vilma (Sue Prado), and grandson Jasper (Ross Pesigan). The family lived in the house for such a long time, and they are concerned that the de Mirandas will sell it due to Paeng’s passing. Contrastingly, Dr. Celine has no love for the house. She knows that Paeng’s cousin, Sergio (Miguel Faustmann), is already engaged in conversations about it, and all she wants is her cut of the deal. She doesn’t really care about the fate of the people there.

Until one day, Dr. Celine uncovers a secret in one of the house’s rooms that will change her mind about the house and the family.
