Gaud(2026)

Synopsis

Along the northern coast of Ilocos Norte, a young girl grows up in a community deeply tied to the sea and the wind. As her family continues their everyday routines shaped by fishing, labor, and coastal life, quiet changes slowly begin to reshape the world around them. Through intimate observations of childhood, family, and the rhythms of the sea, “GAUD” reflects on memory, livelihood, and uncertain horizons within a changing coastal landscape.Along the northern coast of Ilocos Norte, a young girl grows up in a community deeply tied to the sea and the wind.
