Upon his father's death, Florante, a classically trained guitarist returns

to the Philippines after 12 years of absence. During his stay he rediscovers

the music of harana - a long-forgotten tradition of Filipino serenading when

men sang under the window at night to fearlessly declare their love for a

woman. Intent on unearthing these unheralded songs, Florante travels to the

remote provinces where he discovers three of the last surviving practitioners -

a farmer, a fisherman and a tricycle driver.
