Can you predict your own death? Some people claim that only God knows when their lives will be taken away. But for this old lady, it seems that she knows when where she will be dying.
In this short film called 'Moth in Twilight (Gamu-gamo sa Takipsilm)' features a very lonely old lady, she was so lonely that she even bought herself a coffin, set of flowers and candles that are only used in a wake.
Everything that she bought were placed inside her old house. After the representative of the company left, she then closed the door of her house and started preparing food. After cooking, she then placed two plates on the table and started talking. When the camera zooms out, I was dumbfounded because she wasn't even talking to anyone.
Then, she started recalling all their happy moments together, the way her husband sang their favorite song although he's almost dying.
She then started dancing slowly as she hears her husband's voice in her head. She paused for a moment and asked herself, why? Why do all of their 12 children have to leave her and migrate to Canada without even leaving a single grandchild?
This old lady feels so sad and alone that she even predicted her own death. Emotions and tears start flowing, she then stepped inside the coffin, lay down and closed it.
