There’s a time for everything. A time to tear down … and a time to build.
A heartbreaking film, Taklub offers engaging drama about individuals struggling to mourn lost loved ones and rebuild their normal lives at the same time.
"Taklub" stars Nora Aunor with Julio Diaz, Aaron Rivera, Ruby Ruiz, Soliman Cruz and Lou Veloso, directed by Brillante Ma. Mendoza and screenwritten by Honeylyn Joy Alipio, and with Creative Consultant Armando Lao.
SYNOPSIS
Taklub is a story of three major characters - Bebeth, Larry and Erwin, whose lives intertwine after super typhoon Haiyan left the city of Tacloban in a horrendous state. They search for the dead while trying desperately to keep their sanity intact, and to protect what little faith may have.
Bebeth (Nora Aunor) searches for the remains of her three children in the hopes that any identified records could match a DNA test from those buried at the mass grave. Larry (Julio Diaz) lost his wife and consoles himself by joining a group of devout Catholics carrying a life-size crucifix around the city. Erwin (Aaron Rivera) and his elder brother try to hide the truth of their parents’ death from their little sister.
As if grieving from the loss of their loved ones is not enough, a series of events, both man-made and natural, continue to test the endurance of the characters along with the rest of the people, waiting for a time to wipe those slow repugnant tears.
Released by: The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) thru Solar Pictures
