As short as it was, “Nalumos Akong Papa Sa Sabaw” took all the time it had to impart a memorable experience. Jelian misses his father. When he asks his mother where he is, she tells him he drowned in a bowl of soup. Jelian then embarks on a journey in said bowl of soup. Out of all the films in the selection, “Nalumos Akong Papa Sa Sabaw” exudes the most child-like wonder and imagination. It is certainly drowing in absurdism.
