Mungan and her Lola tells the story of the child Mungan who loves to make her Lola (grandma) smile. One day, Lola is inconsolably sad. Mungan and her family engage in Filipino rituals of care-cooking sabaw, applying talimughat, and playing kulintang-to uncover the source of Lola's sadness and find a way to bring back her smile. This story explores the power of practicing cultural rituals of care, as well as remembering and telling our stories to help us heal from the wounds of separation from our homeland.
