Here's the official trailer for the film Kun Maupay Man It Panahon starring Charo Santos and Daniel Padilla.

The movie is directed by Carlo Franciso Manatad, who first gained attention when his short film Jodilerks Dela Cruz, Employee of the Month was nominated at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 2017.

It follows the story of a mother and her son who, in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Yolanda, "struggle for survival and deal with absurdity of fate, sustained by the hope that they carry, and what is lost and gained," according to its official synopsis.

Charo stars as Norma, the mother, while Daniel plays her son Miguel. Joining the two is newcomer actress Rans Rifol, who portrays Andrea, Miguel's friend.

Carlo, who was born in Tacloban, the hardest-hit city by Typhoon Yolanda, said the film "expresses an understanding of a devastation that has changed a community and humanity as a whole."

"It is a commentary in the form of a satire, and deals with the absurd generation we have become today," he added.

The movie is a joint project of Dreamscape, iWant, Quantum Films, Black Sheep, and Globe Studios, with international partner studios in France, Singapore, Indonesia, and Germany.
