The Bird, the Girl and the Typhoon

An elder, migrant Filipino nurse, following the same routine for 40 years, wakes up in her now-grown daughter’s old bedroom. She remembers a farmer from her childhood who once told her that the end of the typhoon season and the arrival of the harvest will begin with the sight of a red-colored bird. In a subversion of colonial messages which signal that safety, security and prosperity are given in proximity to imperial empires, she transforms throughout the morning into the weather, the bird, the harvest and her own internal force.
