What happens when fear meets desperation? In "Mosquito Lady," a terrified teenager grapples with an unplanned pregnancy amidst a backdrop of tightening abortion restrictions
With nowhere to turn, she seeks help from a mysterious neighbor, a figure cloaked in warnings and whispers. This is not just a story about a choice; it's a haunting reflection on the struggle for autonomy and the dire consequences of societal constraints. As the narrative unfolds, the chilling figure of the manananggal—a vampiric creature from Philippine folklore—emerges, symbolizing the painful transformations faced by those stripped of their rights. "Mosquito Lady" is a powerful call to confront the realities of reproductive rights, leaving audiences both unsettled and inspired to advocate for change.
