Connie, a spinster, deals with the death of her adopted son, Cesar. Faced with sudden emptiness, she occupies herself with the minutiae of the wake, which virtually no one attends. A chance encounter with strangers forces her to evaluate her future.

This film is one of a diptych of films adapted from the short story “Some Families, Very Large” by Filipino writer Jose Y. Dalisay. Though each film stands alone, they both share one pivotal moment which impacts the characters in a different, poignant way.
