The Philippines, 100 years ago. A boy called Samkad wants to become a man. He is desperate to be given his own shield, spear, and axe.

His best friend, Luki, wants to be a warrior too - but she is a girl and that is forbidden. Then a new boy arrives in the village and everything changes.

He brings news that people called 'Americans' are bringing the war right to his home.
