Values
Peping’s instinct and his love for the family is very evident in this movie. The lost of Gima was something for him because it came from his father and was given name by his deceased mother so the goat as reminder of his parents, his instinct is to look for the goat. This is how the loving child in each one of us arises. We tend to give importance to whatever our love ones gives to us because of love.

General Patronage
Points of Observation:
There are lots of walking in the film. It was quite boring but the shots taken and the framing helped a lot in keeping from boredom.
I applaud the place, because the scenery of Batanes really made the film. If I was not really focusing on the film itself , I would just be hooked up to what I see aesthetically because Batanes is trully breath-taking.
Story wise, it was very refreshing, very plain film. It made a different feel for there were no physical conflicts made. The film dint made you to expect yet it didn’t actually made you disappointed.
Rating:3 Stars-you can watch it to relax
