Plot:

An intimate epic made with uncompromising and austere seriousness, Lav Diaz's "Evolution of a Filipino Family" patiently and methodically observes the collapse and hopeful revival of a poor farming clan, meant to symbolize a nation's history spanning 1971 to 1987.

The movie takes place in unspecified locations mostly in the rural Philippines — though the end credits later reveal the locales to be Benguet, Tarlac and Marikina — and it is filmed in a way that it could be most anywhere on Luzon. The film follows the lives of two families (though there’s a reason for having only one family in the title), none of whom are “nuclear” in the traditional kinship sense: nephews, grandchildren, and orphans assembled or thrown together either by violence, necessity or love. The political events in Manila — signaled primarily by incorporated footage of the EDSA Uprising, or Aquino’s assassination, or Marcos’ declaration of Martial Law — while seemingly remote, affect the families in quite direct ways, even if they are not fully aware of it.

Important note:

NOTE 01: I really can't judge what is offensive, but someone could find parts of the film offensive. To me it wasn't explicit and unfortunately there is no official tag for this movie, so dunno what else to say to avoid any possible unpleasant experiences for someone.

This is what is said over at IMDB:

The film was rated 13 in Argentina.

NOTE 02: My upload speed is quite low so plz be patient. I hope the torrent will pick up the speed. Plz have understanding bcs this is not in my power. tnx

NOTE 03: This version is free of static/dead space. Also, I don't know why but it won't play entirely in VLC. It worked fine in Media Classic Player and Media player (new version).

Once more - tnx to all lovely people for uploading this. Enjoy
