Amid stifling heat and pervasive drought, Isabel, a 17-year-old Ilokana from the rural north, works at a posh country club outside Manila. New to the job, she wanders the immaculate grounds sampling its luxuries, while members — including an industrialist and his expatriate niece, the club president and his pampered wife, and a slew of Chinese tourists — engage in a complex dynamic with the club’s staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director, Dr. Palanca. The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club, her native Philippines, and her own past. Winner of the Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
