Tulus, a quiet 13-year-old boy, diligently attends Tahlilan (religious gatherings) in his village at the invitation of his uncle. Since his father's death, Tulus has often felt lonely. His mother works late into the night to make ends meet, leaving their home often lonely. Therefore, Tahlilan (religious gatherings) has become the only time Tulus can feel together and try to fill the emptiness in his heart.
