“Mono No Aware”
A Film by BC Amparado

A Cine Canawili and Ihr HERZ Co Production

In Japan's quiet apartments, a Filipino kodokushi cleaner meets an elderly widower who asks him for one final favor before he dies. What begins as a promise becomes a quiet story of grief, family, and accepting life's impermanence.
