Storyboard Text
- Gerardo Luna, a jewelry store salesman in his 30’s, has always dreamed to go to the forest which he regards as a beautiful place. One day, when Ambo, an orchid gatherer who buys some jewelry for his wife’s store, tells Gerardo about living in the forest for weeks at a time, the latter gets more interested, and wanted to tell his wife about it.
- It would be nice to go with him once
- At home he told his wife about the conversation, however, his wife is eyeing only the business aspect of such idea. Hence, he never mentions his dream again.
- Yes,, but I doubt if he would let you in on his business
- Then, Gerardo's wife died
- With Gerardo's wife gone, he thought that, at last he can now fulfill his long-time dream. Ambo then visited again at the jewelry store and planned their trip but his Ate Tere was not glad with the idea and suggested that Gerardo should marry Peregrina.
- “I do not see any sense in it. How can you think of land when a pawnshop is so much more profitable? Think! People coming to you to urge you to accept their business. There’s Peregrina. She would make the right partner for you, the right wife. Why don’t you decide?
- After what his sister said, Gerardo still proceed to his plans and both him and ambo went to the hills
- If I marry her, I’ll keep a pawnshop—no, if I keep a pawnshop I’ll marry her
- There is an eerie light in the forest, and Gerardo hears strange sounds that are caused by tree worms. Then he hears water from afar. All in all, he feels that he will never understand the forest.
- Gerardo and Ambo then started their journey, experiencing the forest in a not so wonderful way. Finally they enter the dim forest. Gerardo is uncomfortable on his bed of small branches and twigs. He cannot sleep that night; he thinks of his wife, not fondly, though. He also thinks of God. He is oppressed by nostalgia.
- God
- Gerardo goes home, first getting his house’s key from his Ate Tere. There he meets Peregrina
- Peregrina smiled eagerly but uncertainly into his face, he heard a jangling in his hand. He felt, queerly, that something was closing above his hand, and that whoever was closing it, was rattling the keys.
- Pereg, as soon as I get these clothes off I shall come to ask you a question that is very—very important to me
