Ang Pagpakalma sa Unos tells a personal story of grief and trauma and how to process them. It is about the director’s hometown of Tacloban and the 2013 Super Typhoon Yolanda that killed thousands. While the film takes on the perspective of the director, the tale told in the film is that of public trauma. It details the grief, frustration, and anger of a community that was neglected by the people supposed to serve them.
