Hilarion Zabala has a mysterious, recurring olfactory problem. A counselor/psychiatrist suspects a lingering case of phantosmia, a phantom smell, and possibly caused by a deep psychological fracture. One recommended radical cure is that Hilarion must go back and deal with the darkest currents of his past life in the military service. Reassigned in the very remote Pulo Penal Colony, he must also confront the horrific realities of his present situation.

First time watching a slow cinema on the big screen, a 10/10 experience, phantosmia isn't an easy watch, but it's one that will stay with you long after the credits roll. If you're up for the challenge, i highly recommend immersing yourself in lav diaz’s unique vision. Also janine gutierrez acting is superb!!
