The plot focuses on describing the torturous life of the hostages of the Dos Palmas kidnappings, whose survivors were freed after a year in captivity.

Plot

At a beach resort in the Philippines, 20 guests are kidnapped by an Islamic separatist group fighting for the independence of Mindanao, with French social worker Therese Bourgoine among those taken to a jungle island. Over weeks and months, a strange bond grows between the kidnappers and hostages.

Cast

Production

Coco Martin was supposed to have a lead role opposite the film's star Isabelle Huppert. Martin was supposed to play a Marine but had to drop out and settle for a cameo role due to conflicts with his taping schedule for the military fiction Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin.[5][6]
