Holy Boom

59th TIFF: World Premiere

The lives of four strangers, who live in the same neighborhood, change dramatically when, on Palm Sunday, the neighborhood’s postbox is blasted by Filipino teenager Ige. Documents of vital importance to all of them – Lena and Manou’s LSD stickers, a letter to Thalia from her abandoned child, and Adia’s birth certificate – have been destroyed..
