The Philippines, 1985: We pass through the threshold of a pregnant teenage girl's fears and embark on an excursion into the collective unconscious of a nation in turmoil. Rooted on waking terrors and operating on dream logic, 'The dream that Nida Chua dreamed on the morning of May 25, 1985' is a surreal third-world tone-poem shot on location in the idyllic Bicol region of The Philippines.
