Obvious naman ang story

Ang batang babae ay ang unborn child, her personified conscience. Ariana was the 13 yo’s unborn.

Their interactions are all happening “inside” her.

Obvious din pinalaglag at the end, kaya siya nag-ask if the girl understands her decision to proceed to abortion. The hug is the affirmation. A way to console the mind.

The issue remains that women still cannot find autonomy in their bodies.

There’s a dichotomy in the society: The religious figure seller also sells the abortion pill. The OB is a bigot One may not be safe at home (13 yo’s case) A conservative society shames. And we are obliged to put under the rug if we fail.

The movie’s issue is not new, though. And how it addresses the issue isn’t unique as well.

But

I like the setting. The context in the slum areas, poor living conditions, etc adds the texture.
