What happens

Nasaan Ka Man (lit. 'Wherever You Are') is a 2005 Filipino romantic drama horror thriller film directed by Cholo Laurel in his feature directorial debut from a story and screenplay written by Ricky Lee and Rafael Hidalgo. The film stars Claudine Barretto, Jericho Rosales and Diether Ocampo in the lead roles, while Hilda Koronel, Gloria Diaz, and Dante Rivero in the supporting roles. Set in the mystical and fog-covered outskirts of Baguio, the film is a love story about a family shrouded in secrets. As the secrets are revealed, the family learns to let go of their hatred and forgive each other. It tackles incestuous relationships, necrophilia, and other unpleasant themes that the film studio dared not go too far. Produced by Star Cinema and Cinemedia and distributed by ABS-CBN Film Productions, the film was theatrically released on June 15, 2005. In March 2017, ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project released a digitally restored and remastered version of the film on iTunes in over 43 countries. The restoration process was made possible with the help of the Central Digital Lab. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
