In a quiet riverside barangay, a mysterious sound echoes at dusk-"Anghkooey... anghkooey...". Some say it's a ghost, others think it's a joke. But for young Lito, it's a call to discover something deeper. When he meets Anghkooey-a mischievous, folkloric creature born from forgotten words-he uncovers a spirit that blends comedy with devotion, laughter with prayer.
As Anghkooey mimics gossip, exaggerates scoldings, and sings humorous prayers during storms, the village begins to heal from its divisions. But when fear turns the barangay against him, Lito must defend the creature's true purpose: to remind people that joy and faith are not opposites, but two hands clasped together.
