Plot
This film is the story of one man’s search for the enigmatic woman, Ploning, who has deeply wounded him in the past. Having grown up in an illegal Taiwanese fishing vessel, Rodrigo, now 30 years old, returns to the beautiful island of Cuyo and is given from sunrise to sunset to look for his Ploning. In his search, he discovers that the woman he adored as a boy is not the woman he thought he knew. While Ploning displayed her maternal love for the 6-year-old Rodrigo, she is shrouded in her mysterious devotion to Tomas, her childhood sweetheart who left her when she was 16. This 30-year-old spinster who has held a special place amongst the people as a dutiful daughter, a devoted friend, a caring sister and a loving maternal figure is slowly unveiled through Rodrigo’s memory, and an emotional meeting with Ploning’s confidante, Seling. Through his search, Ploning is revealed as the island’s most bittersweet source of selfless love.
