Norte, the End of History

About

Norte, the End of History is a 2013 Philippine psychological drama film edited and directed by Lav Diaz and co-written by Rody Vera from a story concept he co-developed with Michiko Yamamoto and Raymond Lee. Lasting for more than four hours, the film explores themes of crime, class, and family. The lives of three people take a turn when one of them commits a crime. Joaquin (Archie Alemania) fails miserably at providing for his family. When his money lender gets murdered by disillusioned law student Fabian (Sid Lucero), the crime is pinned on Joaquin. In prison, he is transformed by misery and solitude. Left to fend for the family, his wife, Eliza (Angeli Bayani), pours all of her strength into battling despair as she ekes out a living for their children. The real perpetrator, Fabian, roams free. His disillusionment with his country—its history of revolutions marred by betrayal and crimes unpunished—drives him to the edge of insanity. (source: wikipedia)
