SYNOPSIS<\/strong>
Three illegal miners journey back to their island after months of toiling in hellish conditions. With their hard-earned money, they traversed the sea, the mountains and the forest until they reached their destination. Or did they really reach their cursed place?
“I once was asked to define man, us so-called human beings, supposedly the most superior inhabitant of planet Earth, and due to the moment\u2019s urgency, for a quick reply, all I could muster was an animal simile (Man is an animal), and I felt terrible, I thought I fumbled, but then looking back now, it was in fact the better answer. Yes, in fact, man remains on that level, animal. And I came upon a discourse exactly on this matter, that despite us being the better developed species, most of us still retains the demeanor and comportment of the chimpanzee, the genus pan, part of Hominidae, the great primate family. And, so, by nature, we are violent, aggressive, obsessive, transgressive, imposing, envious, territorial, narcissistic\/egotistical, very much like our cousin, the genus pan. But then, there\u2019s hope, the study says that the human brain is still developing and once it has achieved full development, man shall be complete, a truly self-actualized species, altruistic, saintly and true, just like Buddha, Gandhi, Christ and the farmer, Mang Osting, who generously provides for my vegetarian needs. Thus, this film, GENUS PAN\u2026 it has always been my desire to make a film about animals; but, man as animals, man honestly acting like one, an animal, as he has been acting like an animal all his life anyway.” (Lav Diaz)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
