A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery

Andres Bonifacio y de Castro is recognized as a key figure in the fight against Spanish colonialism in the Philippines during the late 1800s. His widow embarks on a quest to find his missing remains, and as she and her group venture further into the jungle, they become ensnared in the complexities of their own guilt and accountability. Meanwhile, the Spanish governor attempts to manipulate the different rebel groups and their idealistic dreams against one another. Concurrently, a severely injured ally of Bonifacio contemplates the inevitable casualties of a revolution. The narrative weaves together mythology, historical facts, and a lively sense of the past.
