Synopsis
In a poverty stricken town, hopes are essential and dreams can be made real. Against the skepticism of the town, Melinda and the children of Malawig join a humble singing contest. Their small voices ring out against darkness, poverty, death and despair. Dreams are what Melinda brought with her the day she left the provincial town of Malawig. The young teacher arrives to find a land of coconut and rice fields, and a people barren of hope. Poverty has made the townsfolk passive, resigned to a bitter fate, while others fight in the mountains, staking their lives for some kind of change. But the children's song awakens in everyone a small flame of hope, a daring dream, and a willingness to fight for it.
