Norte: The End of History
by Lav Diaz
The Philippines 2013, 250 min
The lives of three people take an irreversible turn when one of them commits a crime
A man is wrongly jailed for murder while the real killer roams free. The murderer is an intellectual frustrated with his country's never-ending cycle of betrayal and apathy. The convict is a simple man who finds life in prison more tolerable when something mysterious and strange starts happening to him.
