Karnal

When Narcing brings home his wife Puring to their hometown Mulawin in the 1930s, it sets off a series of events that include parricide, infidelity, betrayal, guilt and redemption. Karnal examines how filial loyalty can also be a form of bondage that supports patriarchy and the subjugation of women —extending through generations in Narcing’s family.
