Abstract/Summary

Sa Ngalan ng Ama is a short film about the psychological breakdown of a father, Fred, in his feat of finding his missing daughter. It is the story of how he copes with the unlikely situations in life through drug use, such as legal separation and depression.

In what seems to be a picture-perfect family life comes along the villain-the adulterous wife. Upon finding out the deed and his separation from his wife, Fred world turns upside down his emotions get pushed to its limits. His life takes a sharp turn and he gets off track in his life. If there was one flaw in Freds personality, it is his inability to adapt and be resilient in situations that throws him off the curb. His abusive drug use has rubbed the line between reality and imagination that results to even bigger trouble, one piling up after another. In this staggered path that Fred must tread alone, twists and turns will be revealed to him along the way that will further test his inner strength and eventually, his sanity.
