Festival Note
Ronnie Lazaro plays Hilarion Zabala, a retired soldier who suffers from phantosmia: a lingering, phantom smell, seemingly conjured up by his own mind, keeping him from living a normal life. As a treatment, his doctor recommends he re-enter the service, such that he will be better able to confront his past and deal with the psychological issues that bring about the malady. He is assigned to a remote island, where he is confronted with the violent reality of the present.
