Ang Merkado

English

Family, obligation, and survival come to a head in the chaos of a rural Philippine marketplace, where a street dog scavenges for scraps and a mother and son search for a fresh start away from their troubles in Canada. All are torn apart by familiar forces beyond their control—one for stolen meat, the others for a debt that can never be paid. A claymation horror based on real events.
