In the landscape of Philippine independent cinema, Purificacion stands as a raw, unflinching exploration of trauma disguised as a religious thriller. Directed by and headlined by a career-defining performance from Rhen Escaño , the film follows Purificacion “Pura” , a reclusive woman living in a remote, decaying town. By day, she tends to a small chapel; by night, she is haunted by the ghost of a young girl she may have helped bury decades ago.
