Isabel journeys in a dreamworld with her new mystical friends "Saya" (Happiness) and "Pag-asa" (Hope) in an attempt to overcome her isolation due to her blindness.

Isabel, a blind girl who journeys in a dream world formed through the emotions she feels, shortly plays with her new mystical friends “Saya” (Happiness) and “Pag-asa” (Hope). But soon, she is succumbed by her negative thoughts of becoming alone. Her life becomes endangered. And the question is: “how would she overcome her fear, helplessness and depression in this struggling situation?”

“Aninag” (“Light’s Play”) is a film grant from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). Most of the film stocks of the film came from Kodak Philippines through the filmmaker’s prize as Kodak Film Awardee 2003 of the UP Film Institute with her thesis film “Karsel” (Prison). With the help from the production houses Filmex through a number of short ends and lending of equipment, and Production Village through a number of short ends, the film was greatly blessed with a number of kind-hearted institutions and artists who were willing to help out with this kind of independent film productions.

The dream sequence of the film was inspired by the children’s storybook “Ang Ika-Sampung Taong Kaarawan ni Prinsesa Mayumi” (“Princess Mayumi’s 10th Birthday”) which the filmmaker originally wrote for the film.

The children who acted for the film were from the Advocacy Program of the Museo Pambata (an organization helping deprived, underprivileged, and street children and a museum for kids). The staff was proud of these 3 kids who did a great job as first time actresses and actor for a 35mm film.

Through the help of the Department of Environment and National Resources (Province of Rizal, Philippines), the City Hall of Antipolo and Municipal Hall of Rodriguez, Rizal, the bulk of the film (dream sequence) was shot at the historical site of the Wawa Gorge in San Rafael, Rodriguez (formerly Montalban), Rizal, Philippines, where the legend of Bernardo Carpio’s “Dalawang Nag-uupugang Bato”(The Two Clashing Rocks) originated.
