    • Synopsis
    • A crumbling past. A destruction. Darkness meeting light. A looming amnesia. With the ongoing demolition of the Red House, one of the garrisons used by the Japanese during World War II, a group of youth pays their last visit to one of the most haunted places in the Philippines. Stepping on another realm hoping to find ghosts, they sink into the horrors of the past as they visit the remaining living victims of the house.

      During World War 2, Japanese soldiers set their camps in various places in the Philippines – mostly churches, schools, and farmhouses. The soldiers raid houses in the Philippines. They get the girls and kill the men. Most of the girls end up in their garrisons and camps where they were treated as sex slaves. They usually keep them for months. Known as comfort women, more than a thousand of these women were captured, raped for days on end and then released as the soldiers are deployed to another town.

      One story is about the mass rape and murder in the town of Mapanique in Pampanga, Philippines. Thousands of men were shot and killed while the women were brought to the Red House and raped.

      Now, the Red House is slowly being demolished. From the 90+ women who were raped in that house, only a few remain alive, or fighting to be alive. This documentary will serve as a memory, a reminder of the past that’s soon to be forgotten. It is a collective memoir of the women, of the house, and the horrors that continue to haunt us today.
