For a prisoner like Argel “Boy Pitik” Corpus, hoping is futile. He was a lookout in a bank robbery that ended up in a chilling loss of innocent lives. He has become aloof, and unlike the other detainees, he never had any visitor. Argel religiously dials 1430 and pretends to be talking to a person on the other line. In reality, it’s just a dial tone. But one day, someone suddenly speaks on the other end of the line. How can one voice spark change and hope in the life of a convicted criminal?

Forbidden Memory summons remembrances and memories of the fateful days in September 1974 when about 1,500 men from Malisbong and neighboring villages in Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat were killed while 3,000 women and children were forcibly taken to naval boats stationed nearby where they encountered unspeakable horror. For 40 years, the survivors lived in relative silence. Now they tell their stories.

It follows a young man who dreams of becoming a general and Ying Zheng, whose goal is unification.
