Description
Set in the Philippines at the end of World War II, an affluent family is stranded in their mansion, tormented by faltering Japanese soldiers. Rumors swirl that patriarch Aldo stole Japanese gold, endangering his family. He seeks American aid to avert slaughter, leaving his sick wife and young daughter, Tala. The young girl mistakenly trusts a flesh-eating fairy, who desires to consume them all.
