Faraway Amour

Manila, 1924. Sofia, a young woman with a fiery spirit and a passion for writing, wrote a letter about her life in that era, unbeknownst to her, against all odds, a reply arrives - not from her present era, but from Rafael living in the bustling metropolis of Manila, in 2024.
Across a century, a connection blossoms. Bound by their shared love for the rich tapestry of Philippine history and the echoes of a nation's history, Sofia and Rafael weave a tapestry of words, their letters bridging the gulf of time. With her vivid memories of a bygone era, Sofia paints a picture of Manila that is both familiar and foreign to Rafael. He, in turn, shares stories of a future Manila, a testament to the resilience of the Filipino spirit.
Their written exchanges become a sanctuary, a refuge from the loneliness in their respective realities. Sofia, now a centenarian, grapples with the weight of a life well-lived, yet tinged with the ache of a love never fully realized. Amidst the frenetic pace of modern life, Rafael yearns for a deeper connection, a love that transcends the boundaries of time.
