Abstract/Summary

This study aims to explore the effects of parental bereavement towards a child. It will present and discuss psychological, psychosocial and other mental dimensions that a child might experience when a parent dies. With this pretense, the group shall then associate the effects of such early loss with the child's transition into the adult life, by gathering sufficient data that will attempt to understand the grown adults behavior in his latter life.

In the short feature, 24-year old Inigo Laurel lives a repetitive life due to the haunting memories of his past. Ever since Inigo's father's death when he was a mere child, he has long blamed himself for the incident, and thus, to keep his sanity submerges himself in his work and mountain hikes. Everything changes once he meets a little Sherpa boy named Gino. As the two grows closer, Inigo finds himself slowly remembering the buried memories of him and his father more vividly. On one of their hikes together, Gino tries to convince Inigo to go with him to this amazing spot he discovered at the hill top, but Inigo, realizing that it was the same spot he and his father used to always go to, refuses. After much failed attempts of convincing Inigo, Gino goes to the mountain peak alone. Moments later, Gino screams. Inigo hearing the boy hesitates and struggles but eventually dashes Gino's rescue. As he arrives, he sees Gino uninjured and flashbacks resurface. Inigo shares his happiness with Gino and finds resilience within himself.
