Wayang Alimagnum

Wayang Alimagnum follows Waya, a high school student and a skilled pilot of a giant mechanical crab used in her community’s rice farms. As she prepares for the grand festival where mechs compete in the transition from one harvest season to the next, Waya faces an unexpected challenge—her fiercest competitor is her own stepmother!

“Hindi ako nag-aalala . . . halimaw yata ’to.”

Sa gitna ng paghahanda sa nalalapit na pista, may natuklasan si Waya mula sa nakaraan—isang bundok ng alaala at pangungulila. Ngunit tulad ng kaniyang ina, hindi basta-basta sumusuko si Waya.

At sa pagpapahusay ng pambatong Alimagnum, napagtanto niyang tunay ngang kahanga-hanga ang tatag at talino ng magsasakang Filipino.

“I’m not worried . . . this one’s a beast.”

Amid the bustle of preparations for the upcoming festival, Waya unearthed a mountain of memories and longing from the past. Yet, like her mother before her, Waya never backs down easily.

And as she honed the mighty Alimagnum, she came to fully appreciate the remarkable strength and ingenuity of Filipino farmers.
