In the seaside town of Baler, Philippines, surfing instructor Ford (Sid Lucero) is told all his life that he is the son of American director Francis Ford Coppola, who was in town to shoot his film
Apocalypse Now. Ford wastes his youth as his mother Chona (Ana Abad Santos) petitions the director to acknowledge his son. But as the surfing season ends, he’s forced to face his past and the myths surrounding his life.
Apocalypse Child is a story about how we create myths and how myths create us.
