“Kaluskos” follows the story of a mother, Rebekah (Garcia), who is fighting for the sole custody of her young daughter Amaya, but she finds another “Amaya” under her bed. Wanting to start a new life with the other version of her daughter, Rebekah seeks to set the other “Amaya” free, but she has to kill the “impostor” to do so.
The film, which is written by Enrique Villasis, was one of the entries in the 2022 Cinemalaya Film Festival. /ra
